In keeping with its mission, the PA Catholic Conference aims to educate and inform Catholics about a wide range of issues. As such, we produced a series of resources to help voters prepare for the November 6 election.

The information listed here explains the candidates’ positions in their own words.  It has been compiled from interviews, questionnaires, policies, public statements, official and campaign websites and other resources to help voters inform their consciences before heading to the voting booth. The issues covered here appear for informational purposes only and do not represent a complete list of issues that may be of importance to Catholics. The PCC neither supports nor opposes any candidate for public office. The comments, votes and statements are merely snapshots from each candidate’s public career and campaign.
