Five in race for Hayes vacancy

Raymond W. Mitchell received the Democratic Party's nod for this vacancy. Also filing in this race are Kevin J. Murphy (see also, Berland, Bronstein and Dolan vacancies) and Bonnie Carol McGrath (see Berland vacancy).

Also filing for this vacancy were Carl B. Boyd, an attorney since 1991, who practices with the Starks & Boyd Law Firm on the South Side of Chicago. I could find no public website for Mr. Boyd, but he has a "Carl B. Boyd for Judge" page on Facebook. Boyd ran for judge in 2006 as well, as a candidate for the "A" vacancy in the 2nd Subcircuit.

Rounding out the field in the Hayes vacancy is Thomas J. Carroll. An attorney since 1988, Carroll maintains a law office in Cicero. According to Sullivan's his practice is focused in criminal law.
