Pennsylvania Supreme Court election results: Were Kevin Dougherty, Christine Donohue, and David Wecht retained?

In the 2025 general election, Pennsylvania voters approved the retention of three Democratic justices on the state Supreme Court: Christine Donohue, Kevin Dougherty, and David Wecht.

These nonpartisan “yes/no” votes determine whether justices serve another 10-year term (or until reaching the mandatory retirement age of 75). The court currently holds a 5-2 Democratic majority, and their retention preserves that balance.

Tuesday’s results thwarted Republican efforts to remove the justices, amid national attention on key issues such as voting rights, redistricting, and abortion access.
