A vote for Mik is a vote to restore trust, justice, and equity in Allegheny County courts.
“I became a district judge because I am deeply committed to protecting YOUR rights from the powerful interests and unfair systems that threaten them. To fully realize this vision and restore trust, justice, and equity in our judicial system for all Allegheny County residents, I’m running for the Court of Common Pleas. ”
— Judge Mik Pappas
Judge Pappas is already working for the people of the East End in district court. Since 2017, Mik has kept families in their homes by reducing eviction rates by nearly 40%, virtually eliminating reliance on cash bail, promoting safe and humane alternatives to incarceration for people suffering from mental health and substance abuse disorders, and helping to break the cycle of poverty by accepting community service as payment for court fees.

“I know what it’s like recovering from domestic abuse, having an incarcerated parent, losing loved ones to gun violence and addiction. That’s why, when you vote Judge Mik Pappas for Common Pleas, you’re finally going to get a judge who really gets you.”
— Judge Mik Pappas
