Judge Deborah Jean Gubin, who was appointed last year to the 8th Subcircuit vacancy created by the retirement of Judge Maureen Durkin Roy, has launched a campaign website in a bid to remain on the bench after the 2012 elections. That's a link to the campaign website in the preceding sentence. (Judge Gubin also has a campaign Facebook page; this page appears to be currently accessible only to those signed into Facebook, but I provide the link because the apparent intent is to make that page public.)
Judge Gubin has scheduled a fundraiser for Thursday, June 30, 2011, from 5:00 to 7:00pm at La Rosetta, 70 West Madison Street. Tickets are scaled from $100 to $1,000. More information is available on the campaign website.
