Primary Election Day in Pennsylvania


Tuesday, May 21 is Primary Election Day in Pennsylvania.

There are contests across the Commonwealth’s 67 counties for Common Pleas Court and Magisterial District judge, various other important county offices, constables, municipal offices and school boards.  These offices affect people directly in countless ways. 

One’s vote counts for more the smaller the number of fellow voters who are casting ballots.  Some of these primary contests will essentially determine the ultimate outcome of the election, as only one party has candidates on the ballot or it is possible that some candidates could one both party’s nominations in those races that permit cross-filing, namely for judges and school directors.  Regardless, because of the dominant two-party system, nearly all of the candidates who are elected in the General Election were candidates who were nominated in the Primary Election by one of the two major parties.

Many conservatives, or at least those who share many of our conservative beliefs, are on the ballot.  It is critically important to vote for them now.

            My fellow Pennsylvania conservatives, I urge you to find your polling place and make plans to vote.
