Carlos Claudio campaign website goes live

A campaign website has established for 6th Subcircuit candidate Carlos Claudio ("A" vacancy). That's a link to the site in the preceding sentence; a link has been added to the blog Sidebar.

Licensed in Illinois since 2002, according to ARDC, and currently the Chief Operations Officer of Aspira, Inc. of Illinois, Claudio's campaign website stresses his endorsements, both from the Cook County Democratic Party and numerous individual elected officials, including Cong. Luis Gutierrez. Claudio began his legal career in the State's Attorney's Office, according to his campaign biography, initially prosecuting traffic and DUI cases and eventually moving into the Juvenile Abuse and Neglect section. From there, after realizing "that the judicial system was failing his and other communities throughout Cook County," Claudio started his own private practice "where he consistently took on pro bono work focused on both civil and criminal matters." In 2009, Claudio became an Administrative Law Judge with the Illinois Department of Employment Security, according to the campaign website, which also notes that he received Carlos received Mayor Richard M. Daley’s Hispanic Leadership Award in that same year "for his role as an active leader in his community."
