Need advice re: Retention offices on my mail-in ballot

[Number9Dream]

My mail-in ballot includes the following:

Superior Court

Shall John T Bender be retained for an additional term as Judge of the Superior Court of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania?

Shall Mary Jane Bowes be retained for an additional term as Judge of the Superior Court of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania?

Commonwealth Court

Shall Anne Covey be retained for an additional term as Judge of the Commonwealth Court of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania?

Shall Renee Cohn Jubelirer be retained for an additional term as Judge of the Commonwealth Court of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania?

I know nothing of these people, or what political parties they belong to. Can anyone on DU please provide more info? Or I'll have to skip these on the ballot. Thanks.

2. Thanks - So, did I read correctly, Bender and Bowes are both Republicans?

5. Research shows all named in OP are Republicans - will have to check the 'No' box for all.
