Jeanne Marie Wrenn to seek 8th Subcircuit vacancy; August 16 kickoff reception set

A campaign website has been established in furtherance of Jeanne Marie Wrenn's 8th Subcircuit judicial bid. That's a link to the campaign website in the preceding sentence; a link has been added to the blog Sidebar. The campaign also has a Facebook page.

Until earlier this year, Wrenn served as Senior Director and General Counsel at the National Safety Council. Before that, Wrenn worked as Ethics and EEO Officer for PACE. She has been licensed as an attorney in Illinois since 2003, beginning her career in the office of the Cook County State's Attorney. After service there in the Traffic and Narcotics Divisions, Wrenn was assigned to the Legislative Unit, acting as a legislative liaison to the Illinois General Assembly, rising to Supervisor from December 2008 until she joined PACE. Wrenn made the associate judge short list in 2016.

Wrenn's supporters are throwing a campaign kickoff reception for their candidate on Wednesday, August 16, starting at 5:30 p.m. at Lizzie McNeill's Irish Pub, 400 N. McClurg Ct.
