“For far too many Pennsylvanians the justice system has been neither blind or fair — that’s why who we elect to the bench matters. Judge McLaughlin has a proven track record of being ethical, fair, and deeply committed to using the law to make life better for those on the margins. As a single mom, she knows in her bones how difficult it is for working parents and working families to get ahead.”

As a woman of deep faith she knows the value of a second chance. And as a skilled attorney and now jurist, she understands how our courts run and where they must improve. For those reasons and more not only am I proud to endorse her campaign for Supreme Court I’m proud to serve as an honorary co-chair. Now is the time to elect to the highest court in the commonwealth individuals who share our highest hopes and ideals — Judge McLaughlin fits the bill perfectly!”

“Raising two boys as a hardworking single mother and judge, her dedication to family and community is evident through her service in our court system. Her understanding of the law and focus on improving the justice system makes her the ideal state Supreme Court Justice”

Pennsylvania State Representative

“Judge Maria McLaughlin is a friend to me and a friend to Chester County. She spends time in our community, not just during election time, but always. She’s a wonderful judge on the Superior Court because she’s spent time in ALL 67 counties. I was proud to stand with her in 2017, and I’m happy to support her now. Please help elect my friend as our next PA Supreme Court Justice.”

“I have always supported Judge McLaughlin in her past campaigns for both Common Pleas and her 2017 Superior Court campaigns, stated Mr. Boyer “Judge McLaughlin is an extremely ethical, qualified, and well-respected Judge, who has always stood with working families and communities of color in our city and throughout the Commonwealth. Her commitment and compassion is obvious to all who know her.
