Campaign website launched, June 26 fundraiser set, for Judge Dan Tiernan

Supporters of Judge Dan Tiernan's bid to hold his 14th Subcircuit seat have launched a campaign website. That's a link to the site in the preceding sentence.

According to his campaign bio, Tiernan was a Cook County Assistant State’s Attorney from 1995 to 2007. He left that office to become "a managing partner at Delgado & Tiernan, PC, a law firm specializing in criminal defense." While in private practice, he also handled probate, real estate, and immigration matters. In January 2016, according to the campaign bio, Tiernan joined the Office of the Cook County Independent Inspector General, "conducting investigations into allegations of fraud, waste, mismanagement, and criminal activity at the county level."

Tiernan's supporters are planning a campaign kickoff fundraiser on Wednesday, June 26, at the Billy Goat Tavern, 1535 W. Madison Street.

Tickets for the event are $100 apiece, but government lawyers may purchase tickets for $50. Sponsorships are also available (Neighbor - $250, Friend - $500, Patron - $1,000). Tickets will be available at the door. For more information about the event, or to obtain tickets, email tiernanforjudge@gmail.com.
