13th Subcircuit: Where the Republicans are

Corrected 11/26/13

Three Republicans filed today for the Iosco vacancy in the far northwest suburban 13th Subcircuit.

FWIW readers already knew that John Curry was going to file for this vacancy.

Richard W. Karwaczka

Richard George Karwaczka and Gary W. Seyring also filed first thing this morning and will be in the lottery with Curry for the top ballot position. Karwaczka practices with the Rosemont firm of Serio & Karwaczka, LLP. Licensed as an attorney in Illinois since 2001, Karwaczka ran for judge in the 15th Subcircuit in 2010. Seyring maintains a law office in Schaumburg. He has been licensed as an attorney in Illinois since 1978.

Incidentally, with one exception, these were the only three persons to file as Republicans for any judicial vacancy in Cook County today. The exception is James Paul Pieczonka, who filed as a Republican for the Jordan vacancy in the 12th Subcircuit. Pieczonka also ran for a 12th Subcircuit seat as a Republican in 2012, losing to Judge Andrea Schleifer.
