Looking through the archives, I note that Jane Lynch did a commercial for one candidate in the 2012 primary; Da Coach, Mike Ditka, cut a commercial for a different candidate that year. During the 2008 primary season, several of the 1985 Super Bowl Bears headlined a fundraiser for still another judicial candidate.
But the upcoming fundraiser for Judge Adrienne E. Davis, who is campaigning to keep the Second Subcircuit seat to which the Supreme Court appointed her earlier this year, is unique in my experience: The event, which will take place tomorrow night from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m., at the Virgin Hotel, 203 N. Wabash, will be hosted by TV's own, Judge Greg Mathis.
Tickets for the event are $100 each, but sponsorships are available ($150 - Sponsor, $250 - Host, $500 - Platinum). For more information about the event, or to order tickets, click on the candidate's campaign website. Yes, that is a link to the candidate's campaign website in the preceding sentence and, yes, I've reversed the usual order of things. Usually, I plug the website first, and then the fundraiser. However, with the fundraiser coming up so soon, it's probably best to do things this way. In any event, a solicitation for tomorrow's extravaganza comes in as a pop-up, just as soon as you open the page. And I have added the candidate's website to the blog Sidebar.
(And as far as this blogger has been able to establish, Judge Judy has not yet taken a stance in this race.)
A great judge who can serve on the bench another 20 years tops!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI think that Judge Mathis would make a wonderful addition to the Circuit Court of Cook County . . . oh, you meant Judge Davis? Never mind.
