Pennsylvania’s 2025 Supreme Court retention race set a record with $18.7 million in spending, mostly dark money, sparking concerns over judicial independence.
Pennsylvania’s 2025 Supreme Court retention election set a record with at least $18.7 million spent, making it one of the most expensive judicial races in U.S. history.
Funding came from Democratic-aligned groups supporting three Democratic-elected justices and Republican-backed nonprofits tied to billionaire Jeff Yass, much of it classified as “dark money.” The spending, far exceeding past retention contests, raised concerns about judicial independence and transparency due to loopholes in campaign finance reporting.
Experts debate whether this reflects a lasting trend or a one-time surge driven by a rare opportunity for Republicans to influence the court’s direction.
