Dan McCaffery wins Pennsylvania Supreme Court election, AP projects

With McCaffery’s projected win, the seven-seat Supreme Court will be composed of five justices elected as Democrats and two elected as Republicans.

“As the son of Irish immigrants who fled their home to escape sectarian violence and to make a better life for their children, tonight is truly remarkable,” said McCaffery. “My parents’ experience led me to a life of service in the military, as a prosecutor, as a Judge, and now as a Justice on the Pennsylvania Supreme Court. I’m humbled by the responsibility Pennsylvanians have entrusted in me and I intend to serve our Commonwealth and every community across Pennsylvania by defending our Constitution and ensuring our society is more fair, inclusive, and accepting. Thank you.”

McCaffery, who announced his candidacy for state Supreme Court in November 2022, will now serve a 10-year term on the Supreme Court.
