"The judges we elect in Philadelphia directly impact working people’s lives and the overall health of our communities every day. They make decisions on everything from housing and family disputes to the rights of those navigating our criminal legal system, shaping what justice truly means in our city.
To me, justice means a commitment to equity, fairness, and access for all. Mike Huff has spent his career fighting for those pushed to the margins, ensuring they have a voice in the courtroom. I am confident he will bring these values to the bench, and I’m proud to support him for judge."
- State Senator Nikil Saval

At a time when political agendas threaten to undermine our courts, we need bold judges committed to equal protection under the law, integrity and accountability for ALL -- Philadelphia will be stronger with Mike Huff on the bench.”

“Mike is honest, he cares about other people, he knows what he's doing, and he's going to make a great judge.”
“We got to know each other as busy trial lawyers, constantly crossing paths in court. And the truth is, I've been asking Mike to run for years. Mike will hit the bench on day one knowing which decisions should or shouldn’t be made and will strive to emulate the best judges he ever saw.”
