Campaign website now live for Judge David Navarro

Judge David Navarro was just sworn in a couple of weeks ago. His supporters have already set up a campaign website to support Navarro's efforts to keep the 4th Subcircuit seat he has just assumed. That's a link to the new campaign website in the preceding sentence; a link has also been added to the blog Sidebar.

Navarro was an Assistant Attorney General, serving as Chief of the Public Integrity Bureau at the time of his appointment. He has been licensed as an attorney in Illinois since 1993.

According to his campaign website, Navarro also served as an Assistant State’s Attorney with the Cook County State’s Attorney’s Office from 1994 to 2009, eventually becoming Supervisor of the Professional Standards Unit of that office.

Also according to his campaign website, Navarro is a member of the adjunct faculty at Loyola University Chicago School of Law and at The John Marshall Law School, and has served on the faculty of the Conference of Western Attorneys General, training Mexican prosecutors on trial advocacy.

A volunteer Boy Scout leader, directing the Pinewood Derby for Troop 92 each year, Navarro has also coached in the Riverside Little League and for Riverside Recreation soccer and basketball. He serves on the Finance Committee for St. Mary Parish in Riverside. A cross-country runner at the University of Chicago in his undergrad years (winning all-conference and all-association recognition), Navarro remains an avid runner, according to the website, having run 20 Chicago Marathons.

Navarro’s wife, Kelly, is also an attorney. Their two sons attend Fenwick High School in Oak Park, Illinois.
