Pennsylvania Supreme Court affirmed the Commonwealth Court's order regarding Todd Koger's Democratic candidacy appeal for the 34th Legislative District.

What changed

The Pennsylvania Supreme Court issued a per curiam order affirming the Commonwealth Court's decision regarding Todd Koger's nomination petition appeal for the 34th Legislative District. The case concerned the validity of candidacy documents for the Democratic primary ballot. The Court provided no substantive analysis, simply affirming the lower court's March 25, 2026 order.

This concludes the appellate process for this candidacy dispute, with the Commonwealth Court's ruling remaining in effect. Affected candidates and their legal representatives should note this decision as precedent for how Pennsylvania courts handle nomination petition challenges.
