Megan Kathleen Mulay to seek Larsen vacancy

Assistant State's Attorney Megan Kathleen Mulay has announced plans to seek the Democratic nomination for the countywide Larsen in the 2020 Primary. That's a link to Mulay's campaign website in the preceding sentence; a link has also been added to the blog Sidebar.

Licensed as an attorney in Illinois since 1999, according to ARDC, Mulay is currently working in the Criminal Prosecutions Bureau of the SAO's Felony Trial Division.

Mulay's campaign bio notes that she is the youngest of six children, raised by a single mother, life experiences that taught her "early in life how to be an advocate for herself and others."

She has, according to her campaign bio, served as lead attorney in "over 100 felony jury and bench trials ranging in severity from drug possession to first degree murder." She is presently responsible for the prosecution and management of over 300 active felony cases.

Mulay grew up in the south suburbs but currently resides in Chicago with her husband and two sons.
