He is a former judge of the Pennsylvania Superior Court , serving from 2020 to 2024. He defeated Republican Carolyn Carluccio in the 2023 Pennsylvania Supreme Court election , winning with 53% of the vote.
Military service and education
[ edit ]
After graduating from Father Judge High School in 1982, McCaffery joined the United States Army and served with the First Cavalry Division in Fort Hood, Texas.[3] He attended the United States Military Academy Preparatory School .[3] After being honorably discharged from active duty, he served three more years in the Army Reserve .[3] He received a Bachelor of Arts in journalism from Temple University in 1988 and a Juris Doctor from Temple University School of Law in 1991.[1] [4]
Career
[ edit ]
From 1991 to 1997, McCaffery was an assistant district attorney for Philadelphia County . From 1997 to 2014, he was a shareholder with Friedman, Schuman P.C. From 2014 to 2019, he was a judge of the Philadelphia Court of Common Pleas .[1] In 2019 , he was elected to the Superior Court of Pennsylvania .[4] [5]
Pennsylvania Supreme Court
[ edit ]
In November 2022, McCaffery announced his candidacy for a seat on the Pennsylvania Supreme Court left vacant by the death of fellow Democrat Max Baer .[6] He was endorsed by the state Democratic Party in February 2023,[7] and won the May 2023 primary against fellow Superior Court Judge Deborah Kunselman with 60% of the vote.[8] He went on to face the Republican nominee, Montgomery County Court of Common Pleas Judge Carolyn Carluccio, in the general election.[9]
Abortion was the central theme of the general election.[10] Even though candidates in judicial elections typically avoid commenting on specific issues, McCaffery explicitly campaigned on protecting the right to an abortion.[11] [12] Carluccio declined to take a public position on the issue, but did say she would uphold Pennsylvania's law allowing abortion until 24 weeks after conception.[13] However, she was endorsed by the anti-abortion Pennsylvania Pro-Life Federation, and the Pro-Life Coalition of Pennsylvania supported her because she called herself "pro-life ".[13]
Over $22 million was spent during the campaign, making the election one of the most expensive Supreme Court elections in the Commonwealth's history.[14] Of that total, McCaffery and his allies spent over $13 million,[12] primarily funded by "the state Democratic Party, labor unions, and associations representing trial attorneys."[15]
On November 7, 2023, he was elected to the Pennsylvania Supreme Court with 53% of the vote;[16] McCaffery's support for abortion rights has been credited as a major factor in his victory.[17] [18]
