Tuesday filing, unfiling update

Judge Carrie Hamilton did file her papers this afternoon for the 12th Subcircuit Tristano vacancy.

Hamilton and David Studenroth, mentioned in today's first post, are the only Cook County judicial candidates to file nominating petitions today. Both are running for the same vacancy (Studenroth as a Republican).

One countywide judicial candidate withdrew today: Gregory R. LaPapa, who had filed against Brendan O'Brien, withdrew his candidacy. He is the first and only candidate to withdraw from the primary so far. But he will not be alone for long.
