Richard J. Ryan withdraws from race for Egan vacancy

Late Friday afternoon Richard J. Ryan filed papers with the Illinois State Board of Elections withdrawing from the race for the Egan vacancy on the Cook County Circuit Court.

Following the withdrawal of Joanne F. Rosado from this race (she's running for the 11th Subcircuit "A" vacancy instead), the race to fill the Egan vacancy shapes up as a head-to-head contest between Judge Daniel J. Kubasiak (the judge appointed to this vacancy by the Illinois Supreme Court and subsequently slated by the Cook County Democratic Party) and Assistant State's Attorney Sarah Cunningham.
