Updated February 28 to reflect additional endorsement made by Ald. Vasquez.
Ald. Andre Vasquez is not Committeeman of the 40th Ward, although he is facing off against Maggie O'Keefe for that position in the St. Patrick's Day Primary.
Vasquez has issued a number of endorsements in judicial races, however, for the upcoming primary.
As pictured above, Vasquez has endorsed Justice Nathaniel Roosevelt Howse for the Illinois Supreme Court.
In addition, Vasquez has endorsed
Countywide
Kerrie Maloney Laytin -- Bellows vacancy
Laura Ayala-Gonzalez -- Ford vacancy
Celestia L. Mays -- Funderburk vacancy
Levander "Van" Smith, Jr. -- Larsen vacancy
Chris Stacey -- Mason vacancy
Sheree Desiree Henry -- Murphy Gorman vacancy
Araceli Reyes De La Cruz -- Roti vacancy
Deidre Baumann -- C. Sheehan vacancy
Jill Rose Quinn -- K. Sheehan vacancy
Subcircuits
Brad Trowbridge -- 8th Subcircuit, Fleming vacancy
Michael Alan Strom -- 9th Subcircuit, Luckman vacancy
Jon Stromsta -- 10th Subcircuit, McGing vacancy
Mary Catherine Marubio -- 10th Subcircuit, O'Brien vacancy
Perhaps he should change his slogan to "Our Ward. My Hustle." The only reason Reyes didn't get the endorsement is he refused to pay the $5k cash that Vazquez wanted the candidates for Supreme Court to pay. Ouch, Nate. How did Gator let you get hustled like that?
ReplyDeleteApparently you've never appeared before Justice Reyes. Very nice man but doesn't have a Supreme Court intellect. We already have one of those in Burke. Let's not add another.
DeleteGenerally a decent job for a newcomer. Howse is a great choice. Same with Trowbridge and Quinn. De la Cruz and Baumann are head scratchers though. They have far superior opponents. I'm also not a fan of electing associate judges when highly qualified candidates are running against them. I would have picked Mulay over Smith.
ReplyDeleteMarjorie, the nail girl at Turning Heads Salon in Avondale has issued her slate. She urges everyone to vote for her second-cousin's wife, Monica. Monica used to work at Live or Dye Beauty Shop in the 14th Ward, but lost her lease when a Burger King moved-in next door. Marjorie says Monica is "real good at texting with one hand and prolly don't need spellcheck."
ReplyDeleteThe best comment all season. Kudos.
Deletelol whatever "Supreme Court intellect" means. All the candidates are smart enough to be on the court.
