Two men will be voted on by the senate to become Bucks County Common Pleas judges on Wednesday, according to sources.
Bucks County Controller Raymond F. McHugh, a Republican from Southampton, and private practice attorney Brian T. McGuffin, a Democrat from Langhorne, are nominated by Gov. Tom Wolf to fill two Bucks County judge seats. Both men spent a day this week meeting with officials in Harrisburg to seal the nomination, multiple sources confirm.

The men were previously nominated by former Gov. Tom Corbett on his last day in office. The nominations, along with several others, were pull pulled just hours before a vote senate by the new governor. Wolf called out Corbett for putting “forth several eleventh hour executive nominations” that he believed were “murky.” He said he would work with both parties to finalize nominees.
The Pennsylvania Senate will reconvene Wednesday at 11 a.m. in Harrisburg.
McHugh was picked to replace Judge Clyde Waite and McGuffin was nominated to replace Judge Susan Devlin Scott.
