HARRISBURG — A national political group is spending tens of thousands of dollars to urge voters to reject new terms for three Pennsylvania Supreme Court justices. The outcomes of these yes-or-no retention elections could open a path to flip the court from Democratic control.

The Republican State Leadership Committee (RSLC), which helps fund state-level GOP candidates, has spent at least $85,000 on digital ads through Meta and Google as of Sept. 8. These ads ask viewers to vote “No in November,” request a mail ballot and stop “radical liberal judges” from securing “another decade of power.”

“This is a political consultant's dream, because your message is just one thing and that's ‘No,’” GOP political consultant Christopher Nicholas previously told Spotlight PA.
