"Unwavering Ethic to Always Do What Is Right and Honorable"

It is with great pride and enthusiasm that I endorse my friend Tip McCabe for Chester County Court of Common Pleas Judge. I consider myself fortunate to have known Tip for years both in and out of the Courtroom. I am extremely thankful for his hard work and support in the past, and during our last Presidential election, as our Chester County Democratic Assistant Solicitor. I first met Tip when he started at the Chester County Public Defender’s Office and quickly realized that I was working with an excellent attorney and an exceptional man.” Though always modest and respectful, Tip is a fighter who never backed down from his duty to zealously defend those who have no voice, no means, and no affluence. To Tip they were fellow human beings who deserved respect, dignity and their constitutional right to legal representation. Tip never gave up fighting for his clients. He would go all out, all the time. President Joe Biden once said that what he was most proud of when he was a Public Defender was that he made a positive difference for so many folks who were at their lowest point in their lives. In truth, the same can be said about Tip. What continues to impress me is not only his fantastic legal skills and experience but his empathy, his honesty, his caring and unwavering ethic to always do what is right and honorable. That’s the kind of Judge we need a the Chester County Court of Common Pleas and that is why I consider it an honor and privilege to endorse him.

"Brings Vision to His Work"

I ran for the State Senate because I was tired of the same old people making the same old decisions without the input of working people. We need more people in positions of power that have real life experience to guide their values. I’m proud to endorse Tip McCabe for the Judge of the Chester County Court of Common Pleas because I know he’ll put our entire community first. Tip’s background as Public Defender is proof of his commitment to the highest ideals enshrined in our Constitution. Our system of rehabilitation demands an approach no seeking vengeance, but one that pursues justice above all. I’ve seen Tip McCabe bring this vision to his work on a daily basis and hope you’ll join me in supporting his candidacy to the Court of Common Pleas

"Great Precision and Care"

When I met Tip, I was immediately impressed by his caring nature as he spoke about the clients that he served during his years as a litigator. Tip is committed to ensuring that everyone has an opportunity for a fair hearing no matter what the circumstances. Tip is empathetic, dedicated and most of all humble. Family and community mean everything to him.  Judicial work is quite difficult and decisions that are made have a lasting impact on the people served. It is very important that whoever we elect to the bench has the ability to explore all aspects of each case with great precision and care. Tip has proven as a litigator that he exercises all of these abilities. It is for all of these reasons that I am honored to endorse my friend, Tip McCabe, for Common Pleas Judge.

"Brings All The Tools to the Table."

I have been a practicing attorney in Chester County for 54 years. Of that time, I was a prosecutor for 14 year, 4 of which as District Attorney. Sine then I have continued to practice Criminal Law as a Defense Counsel. Sine June 2019, I have had the pleasure of working with Thomas (Tip) McCabe. In my observation, Tip brings all the tools to the table that are necessary to a judicial position. He is knowledgeable in the law, particularly criminal law, which constitutes 75% to 80% of the matters that appear before the Court of Common Pleas. He is polite, even tempered, attentive and highly experienced. All of these which cause me to hardily endorse his candidacy for Judge of the Chester County Court of Common Pleas.
