MALVERN, PA — Judge Mackenzie Smith has officially earned the endorsement of the Chester County Democratic Committee as she campaigns for a full term on the Chester County Court of Common Pleas. The announcement, made Tuesday evening, marks a significant milestone in her candidacy for one of two open seats in the 2025 election.
Judge Smith, who was recently appointed to the bench by Governor Josh Shapiro and confirmed by the Pennsylvania Senate, currently serves under an appointment set to expire at the end of 2025. Her endorsement solidifies her Democratic support as she seeks to secure a full ten-year term through the upcoming election.
“From earning the Governor’s support for an appointment to the bench, to earning this endorsement for a full term, I am so grateful for all the support I have earned thus far from our community,” said Smith. “Now, I look forward to earning the best endorsement I could ask for, the voters of Chester County.”
The Courts of Common Pleas handle major civil and criminal cases, playing a critical role in Pennsylvania’s legal system. Smith’s campaign now turns toward engaging with voters as the election approaches. The primary will be held on Tuesday, May 20, 2025, followed by the general election on Tuesday, November 4, 2025.
This endorsement signals growing momentum for Smith’s campaign as she prepares to make her case to Chester County residents this election season.
