The Primary Election is coming up on May 19, and even though most of the races are unopposed, there are some critical races in which we as African Americans must come out and show our support of these few candidates.
There are two very strong African American candidates running for one of the three openings on the Pennsylvania Supreme Court. On the Democratic side is Judge Dwayne Woodruff of the Common Pleas Court and on the Republican side is Judge Cheryl Allen. Both have been very active in the community and the court system, and are very qualified. They both will be a very big asset to the Black community and the state as a whole if they are elected. We also endorse Judge David Wecht who has proven himself to be a very qualified judge and would be a very positive force for the African American community if he were elected to the court.
Attorney Rosemary Crawford is running for the Court of Common Pleas. She says she is the most qualified and looking at her credentials we can’t dispute that. She’s a very qualified candidate who deserves your vote.
We also endorse Judge Hugh Fitzgerald McGough for Court of Common Pleas. He was instrumental in starting the Allegheny Human Relations Commission over five years ago and continues to serve. He is the type of candidate that will make sure all are treated fairly in our justice system.
