Justice Sheldon A. Harris announces for Supreme Court vacancy

Illinois Appellate Court Justice Sheldon A. Harris has declared his candidacy for the 1st District Supreme Court vacancy to be filled in 2020.

Justice Harris released this statement in connection with that announcement:
My good friend and learned jurist Charles Freeman retired last February. His retirement has created a Supreme Court vacancy which will be filled in the 2020 elections.

Today I am announcing that I am a candidate in the March, 2020 Democratic primary election to fill his vacancy.

No candidate for the Freeman vacancy can better or match my experience and qualifications:
  • Justice of Appellate Court, First District since 2010 having authored over 400 Opinions and Orders.
  • Rated Qualified/Recommended by every bar association that rates judges.
  • Over 25 years of extensive Trial Lawyer Experience
  • 10 years Circuit Court Cook County Jury Trial Judge
  • Former Chicago Public Schools Teacher
A committee supporting me is in formation and HarrisForJustice.com is in place.

I look forward to the election campaign and will be grateful for your support.
The Illinois Supreme Court appointed Justice P. Scott Neville, Jr. to the Freeman vacancy last June, but he would have to win election to this seat in 2020 to continue in office.

THE PRICE OF POKER JUST WENT UP A LOT. DO NOT RUN FOR SUPREME COURT UNLESS YOU CAN RAISE AT LEAST $2 MILLION.

I personally will get Shelly Harris 2,000 GOOD signatures from genuinely registered voters in the black wards. That's right, my man Shelly is going to get more black votes than "Neville" and "Howse" and "Cobbs" combined. It's all about the names boys and girls. Haven't you learned anything after reading this blog for all of these years. It will be "Reyes" and "Ramos" and "Irish female as yet unknown" who will be the real problems!
