Medical malpractice defense attorney Maire Aileen Dempsey has announced plans to seek a judgeship in 2020. That's a link to her campaign website in the preceding sentence; a link has been added to the blog Sidebar. There is also a campaign Facebook page.
In an email to FWIW received after this article was first posted, Dempsey clarified that her plans are to seek a 10th Subcircuit vacancy that does not yet officially exist. Dempsey indicated that she has no plans to run countywide or to challenge former State Sen. John Mulroe, recently appointed to the Allen vacancy in the 10th Subcircuit.
Licensed as an attorney in Illinois since 2002, Dempsey has been a partner with Hughes Socol Piers Resnick & Dym, Ltd. since 2015.
Dempsey's campaign bio is distinctive. While it contains the usual information about education and work experience, Dempsey's bio also stresses her expertise in the martial arts. A black belt in karate, according to the campaign bio, Dempsey currently trains in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and teaches Modern Arnis (a Filipino stick fighting art). She has taught Women’s Self-Defense for the past 12 years.
