Supreme Court Election Sets New Fundraising Records
Pennsylvanians for Modern Courts broke the news earlier today that the current Supreme Court race has set a new fundraising record. Judge Jack Panella has raised at least $2,350,633 to date. This edges out the previous record set in 2007 by now Justice Seamus McCaffery. See the Press Release here. You can find the candidates’ finance reports on the PA Dept. of State’s Campaign Finance Reporting page (NOTE: Judge Panella’s cycle 5 reports are not yet on the website).
The candidates’ war chests may continue to rise after the election, as they have until the end of the year to raise money for their campaigns. As a point of reference, in the 2007 race, the two winning candidates, Justices McCaffery and Todd, raised over $330,000 and over $650,000, respectively, in the two reporting cycles after the election. Of the two losing candidates, one raised over $340,000, and the other raised just under $100,000.
