Election season is upon us! Election Day itself is one week away on November 2^nd, with polls in Pennsylvania open from 7:00AM-8:00PM (find your polling location here), but if you are like me, you may have opted for a mail-in ballot. You have until 5:00PM today to apply for one of those - and it must be received no later than 8:00PM on Election Day proper. So, if you are concerned that the Postal Service is acting sluggish, you might want to drop your ballot off at your county Elections Office in person.

I'll get to my personal candidate picks in a moment, but before doing so, I wish to mention my personal candidacy. In the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, poll workers are elected, and I have been serving as a Judge of Election for Ward 32 District 7 of the City of Pittsburgh for eight years at this point. This year I am up for re-election and I am hoping to serve for a third term. So, should you be one of my neighbours, I would greatly appreciate your endorsement and confidence via your vote.

Onwards to the candidates who actually have money to campaign! In addition to the two individuals listed below, Pennsylvania has a slate of judicial candidates up for election this year. Too numerous to list, I simply recommend voting straight-ticket Democratic.
