Brad Trowbridge announces for 8th Subcircuit vacancy

Family law practitioner (and one-time social worker) Bradley R. Trowbridge has announced plans to seek the Democratic nomination for the Fleming vacancy in the 8th Judicial Subcircuit.

A campaign website has already been launched in support of Trowbridge's campaign. That's a link to the site in the preceding sentence. (Eventually, when enough sites are up and running, I'll set up a Sidebar here listing all candidate websites and this will be included.)

According to his campaign website, Trowbridge has served as an adjunct faculty member at John Marshall Law School and as President of the Chicago Battered Women's Network. "More recently," according to the campaign bio, "[Trowbridge] volunteered for First Defense Legal Aid and The Coalition to Stop Gun Violence."

Licensed as an attorney in Illinois since 2000, Trowbridge was a candidate for a countywide vacancy in the 2018 primary. He also sought an 8th Subcircuit vacancy in 2012.

Hey everybody! Jack doesn't allow comments on paid advertising, but there is something you all need to know about Victory Research. It's run by Rod McCullough. He will circulate for ANYBODY! But the candidate who pays him the most can expect that when he circulates for your opponent, he will screw up their sheets. So be careful.

I know Rod McCullough. Rod McCullough is a friend of mine. Commentor, you’re no Rod McCullough.

I don’t know about the allegation, but all paid circulators are risky.

Jack, I have a proposal. Write a blog post asking if candidates will agree to sign a “no shill” agreement. Promise not to use, retain, serve, coordinate with, request, pay, another person to serve as shill. Newspapers should consider whether a “no shill” agreement has been signed in determining endorsements.

Have candidates acknowledge that they understand that use of a shill in a judicial race is unethical, violates Rules of professional conduct and JIB rules.

Let these shill users acknowledge in writing that they know what they are doing is wrong.

Rod McCullough is a convicted felon. Look it up.

Not a viable candidate in the 8th, wasn't a viable countywide candidate and not a viable Associate Judge candidate.

Anonymous did Trowbridge shoot your dog or something? I've known him 7-8 years and have always found him professional and competent. I looked up his ratings, and it appears all bar associations found him qualified/recommended. Injustice Watch reported only positive things unlike what they said about his opponents. Not sure what makes him "unviable."
