There won't be any PD's left in Cook County if they all win in 2 and 8. Richardson and Mackoff might have to reopen its doors.
That will be hard to do since both JUDGE Mackoff and JUDGE Richardson will win their respective races. And as we all know, judges are not allowed to practice law....
Judge Travis Richardson was appointed by the Illinois Supreme Court because he is qualified, has integrity, and he's be rated WELL QUALIFIED by Chicago Council of Lawyers.
It's been said by the Chicago Council of Lawyers ; " Mr. Richardson is considered to have excellent legal ability. He has substantial litigation experience in more complex matters and is widely praised for his professionalism, his knowledge of the law and for his temperament."
He's been found HIGHLY QUALIFIED by the Hispanic Lawyers Association of Illinois; QUALIFIED by Chicago Bar Association and the Illinois State Bar Association .
He has earned the respect to be appointed so that he can get the experience of being a Judge who believes what he feels in his heart , that everyone deserves a fair prosecution and a fair trial based on the constitution of Illinois and the United States of America.
Keep a man on the bench who is qualified and experienced to be a Judge in the 2nd Judicial Subcircuit. ELECT JUDGE TRAVIS RICHARDSON
TO GOD BE THE GLORY!!
