Updated to add Meczyk campaign website
When the dust settled from the opening stampede yesterday at the Illinois State Board of Elections, Judge James L. Kaplan, who was appointed to the Jordan vacancy in the 12th Subcircuit by the Illinois Supreme Court, had drawn four challengers to his bid to hold that seat.

The fourth challenger, James Paul Pierczonka, filed as a Republican, as he did when seeking a 12th Subcircuit vacancy in 2012.
