Judge Matt Rudzki for Common Pleas

11/05/2025

Thank you, Allegheny County! I am incredibly humbled and honored to be one of your eight Judges-Elect of the Court of Common Pleas.

I centered my campaign around the pledge of bringing restorative, fair, and accessible justice to all. I remain as firmly committed to that pledge tonight as I was on the day I launched my campaign. Our County is a special place, and it deserves the best judicial system possible.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you to the countless volunteers who made this victory possible. Hundreds of you knocked doors, collected signatures, made phone calls, put up a sign, wrote post cards, worked the polls, and talked to your friends and family. I could not have done this alone, and I am deeply grateful for the work that you all did to strengthen our judicial system for the people of Allegheny County.

I look forward to the work ahead and to serving you.

Onward,
Judge-Elect Matt Rudzki

🗳 Tomorrow is Election Day 🗳

Today marks the day before Election Day and nearly one year into our journey to prioritize restorative, fair, and accessible justice for all across Allegheny County.

Since the start of the campaign, we have meaningfully engaged tens of thousands of folks through thousands of phone calls, at hundreds of in-person events, in dozens of Zoom calls, and so much more. I put thousands of miles on my car visiting every corner of the County and explored so many new-to-me, vibrant communities.

During my time as a public servant, addressing the needs of the community has been and always shall be my priority, and with your vote and support I hope to do that for all of the residents of Allegheny County.

Thank you to my wife, children, and family for their unending patience; to my friends and campaign volunteers, who canvassed, made calls, sent texts, and put signs in their yards; and to all of the incredible folks who otherwise supported our team along the way.

Thank you for believing in me, our team, and our vision.

I humbly ask for your vote tomorrow!

Tonight was the last stop of the campaign: Rollo's Democratic Rally in Pitcairn.

Six months ago at Rollo's, I stood on the same stage with the same group in front of the same crowd.

I had one ask of the Committee people, friends, and allies there that night—make the Democratic endorsement matter again. As a former Democratic Chair, I had often heard people make statements like "the endorsement isn't what it used to be" or "the endorsement doesn't matter". That's a bunch of malarky.

I asked the crowd to pull out their rolodexes, make calls, send texts, and talk to neighbors about voting for the eight endorsed Dems. And they did. And the people spoke. And we swept. And I asked them to do it again.

A highly qualified, diverse group of eight Democratic nominees are on your ballot on November 4. It is a heck of a great group of people, I am humbled and honored to be among them, and I know they will all do a fantastic job on the bench.

In two days, when you go the polls, vote for the and vote YES for retention:

✔️ Vote Amanda Green-Hawkins
✔️ Vote Dan Miller for Judge
✔️ Keep Judge Quita Bridges
✔️ Capone for Judge
✔️ Anthony DeLuca for Judge
✔️ Heather For Judge 2025
✔️ Hickton for Judge
✔️ Judge Matt Rudzki for Common Pleas

There are THREE days to go until Election Day and we are in full GOTV swing.

The lead up to Tuesday is about margin of effort, and organized Labor is never outworked nor outdone!

A huge thank you to Darrin Kelly, Allegheny-Fayette Central Labor Council, and all of their members for everything they have done to support me and the entire slate, especially the 50,000+ members they have contacted over the last few weeks!

Let's do this folks!

There is ONE week to go until Election Day.

From the beginning, we have been building a broad coalition of support from federal, state, county, and local elected officials, organized labor, and trusted organizations.

However, the most important part of the team has been you, the people!

It is an absolute honor to be one of your Democratic nominees for the Allegheny County Court of Common Pleas, yet there is still work to do between now and November 4.

If you have a mail-in ballot, return it ASAP.

If you are voting in person, make a plan.

I would be incredibly humbled if you joined these trusted voices to put your trust in me with your vote!
