Camaign website found for Jamie Guerra Dickler

Assistant State's Attorney Jamie Guerra Dickler is planning a run for one of the 6th Subcircuit vacancies available in 2020. That's a link to her campaign website in the preceding sentence; a link has also been added to the blog Sidebar.

Licensed to practice law in Illinois since 2005, according to ARDC, Dickler's campaign bio states that she is currently a First Chair in the Felony Trial Division of the State's Attorney's Office and has prosecuted a variety of felony cases including murder, sexual assault, narcotics, identity theft and fraud.

According to her campaign bio, Dickler's mother and uncle came to America from Cuba as refugees in Operación Pedro Pan, spending over a year in a Catholic orphanage. Her father's family fled anti-Semitic pogroms in the Ukraine shortly before he was born. Dickler's campaign bio notes that she "proudly embraces both her Latina and Jewish heritage."

Dickler spent a volunteer year with Amigos de las Americas and has served as a junior board member of the Chicago Lighthouse. She has also volunteered for Big Brothers Big Sisters of Chicago.
