Earls, one of only two Democrats on the seven-member court, is banking on this massive in-state fundraising effort to secure her seat and influence the court’s future direction. Meanwhile, Governor Josh Stein announced major pay raises for law enforcement—15% for troopers, 13% for correctional officers, plus a $40 million bonus fund—to tackle staffing shortages, while most other state workers get just a 3% raise over two years, which Stein says doesn’t match inflation.
