Ann Finley Collins in 11th Subcircuit field

Assistant Public Defender and one-time Oakland (California) public school teacher, Ann Finley Collins is planning a run in Cook County's 11th Judicial Subcircuit. There's no campaign website yet, not that I could find, but the accompanying photo is taken from Ken Trainor's article about Collins' candidacy in the August 25 issue of the Wednesday Journal of Oak Park and River Forest. Collins' campaign committee was registered this week with the Illinois State Board of Elections. Trainor's article notes that Collins is a 24-year veteran of the Public Defender's office, spending the last 12 of these on the homicide task force.
