There are 18 Candidates running for 10 seats on the Allegheny County Court of Common Pleas. How do you fit them all into one candidate forum? You don't!

We asked each candidate to submit a short video answering 2 questions:

What is your view of using special courts or restorative justice in sentencing decisions as an alternative to incarceration?
