2023 GENERAL Election
Please consider our recommendations below with your VOTE ON NOVEMBER 7TH!
The election of Daniel McCaffrey to the Supreme Court is very important in the event of challenges to abortion, LGBTQ and other rights and to the integrity of our PA 2024 spring presidential primary and fall presidential elections.
With respect to other elected offices at the local, county, state and federal levels, ADA encourages you to consider candidates with progressive values. Important issues to consider are protecting and expanding:
Voting rights and voting access
Women's reproductive healthcare
Healthcare access and funding
Also vital to Pennsylvania’s economy and wellbeing will be the upcoming reauthorization of the Farm Bill (SNAP), preservation and enhancement of farmland and more.
2023 Primary Election
We are pleased to send you Americans for Democratic Action of Southeastern Pennsylvania’s recommendations for the May 16 primary. This year in Philadelphia, we are fortunate to have many qualified candidates for City Council and for Mayor. With respect for the Mayor’s race, our board was split between two strong candidates. We have recommended both and leave the choice up to voters. There are many candidates in the race for Bucks, Chester, Delaware County Courts. We were unable to vet them all. We encourage citizens from these counties to evaluate their judicial candidates on the basis of integrity, judicial temperament, and a consideration for the well-being of county citizens. Please remember to VOTE on May 16!
