Pennsylvania Republican Party leaders are weighing whether to take sides in a potentially crowded race for an unprecedented three openings on the state Supreme Court.
The GOP state committee is meeting at a Harrisburg hotel Saturday to decide whether the committee should endorse candidates in the May 19 primary. If so, votes will be taken to decide who is endorsed.
Eight candidates are seeking endorsements--an appointed Supreme Court justice, three state Superior Court judges, two state Commonwealth Court judges, a county judge and a county district attorney.
A seat on the state's highest court carries a 10-year term and a salary that's currently more than $203,000 a year.
Six Democrats also are running. The Democratic State Committee will meet to consider endorsements on Feb. 21 in Hershey.
