The Area's Top Politicians Talk Show for the 11th Year Volpe Report f FOX 56 SUNDAY MORNINGS 10:30 AM PA COURT RACE IN NATIONAL SPOTLIGHT So far, both major parties have spent nearly $18 million in efforts to win an open seat on the Pennsylvania Supreme Court, an amount that is expected to top $20 million-- a state record- once final reports are submitted. The contest has drawn national attention as Republicans look at it as a preview of how things will go in Pennsylvania, with next year's Presidential and US Senate elections looming. Democrats now have a 4-2 majority on the high court and winning the open seat, created by the death last year of Chief Justice Max Baer, has become a priority. The Republican nominee, Montgomery County President Judge Carolyn Carluccio - the first woman to ever hold that position is the Guest Sunday on The Volpe Report at 10:30 am on FOX56. She brings an impressive resume to the race. She was a former Assistant U.S. Attorney and prosecuted drug gangs and white collar felonies. She was the first woman to head her county's Public Defender's Office. She was also elected President of the Montgomery County Bar Association and its 2,000 members. During the broadcast, host Chuck Volpe comments on the dysfunction of the Republican House in Congress, as well as the self-immolation which may derail the Republican Party's ability to win elections, and therefore govern.
