Campaign website launched, Sept. 26 fundraiser set for Jill Rose Quinn

Supporters of Jill Rose Quinn's countywide candidacy have launched a campaign website. That's a link to the site in the preceding sentence; a link has been added to the blog Sidebar.

Quinn's supporters have also planned a fundraiser for their candidate on Thursday, September 26, from 5:00 to 7:00 p.m., at City Social, 120 N. LaSalle Street. Tickets for the event are $100 each, but sponsorships are available (Bronze - $250, Silver - $500, and Gold - $1,000). For more information about the event, or to purchase tickets, email info@votejillrosequinn.com. Tickets are also available online.

Quinn is the first openly transgender person to be slated for countywide office (Sheehan vacancy) by the Cook County Democratic Party. Licensed in Illinois since 1983, according to ARDC, Quinn's campaign website notes that she has had her own law office on Chicago's Northwest Side since 1997. Quinn is a member of the National LGBT Bar Association and Chicago LGBT Chamber of Commerce. She was a candidate for a 10th Subcircuit vacancy in the 2018 primary.
