Sean Kelly to make 6th Subcircuit run; campaign website launched, June 22 fundraiser set

A veteran DuPage County Assistant State's Attorney, Sean Patrick Kelly, is looking for work closer to his Chicago home: Kelly has announced his intention to seek a judicial vacancy in Cook County's 6th Judicial Subcircuit. His supporters have set up a campaign website and scheduled a June 22 fundraiser for their candidate. That's a link to the campaign website in the preceding sentence; a link has been added to the blog Sidebar. Kelly also has a campaign Facebook page.

Kelly has been licensed as an attorney in Illinois since 2006, according to ARDC. After graduating from John Marshall Law School in 2005, Kelly went to work for the Haymarket Group LLC, an independent management consulting and business advisory firm serving the energy/oil and gas industries, rising to General Counsel, according to his campaign bio. Kelly joined the DuPage County State's Attorney's Office in 2007. He currently works in the felony narcotics unit of that office.
