GOP-endorsed candidates for Pa. high court face primary foes

♠ Posted by channel-top-news in ,,,,,,, at 14:55

The Republican State Committee has endorsed candidates for three openings on the Pennsylvania Supreme Court, but that doesn't mean they'll be the only ones on the May primary ballot.


Adams County President Judge Michael George, Superior Court Judge Judy Olson and Commonwealth Court Judge Ann Covey won the committee's endorsements for the nominations Saturday.


But at least two other appellate judges say they're running.


Supreme Court Justice Correale Stevens, whom former Gov. Tom Corbett appointed to fill a vacancy left by a resignation, says he's running but didn't compete for an endorsement because it would be inappropriate for a sitting justice.


Superior Court Judge Cheryl Allen also is vowing to run against the party favorites.


Allen says GOP voters decide the nomination, not the state committee.
