And, for those of you standing by for the Tribune's choices in judicial races on the Republican primary ballot, please be advised that the Tribune supports Gary William Seyring over Angel Garcia in the 13th Subcircuit. Because that's the one and only judicial contest on the entire Republican primary ballot. (Frank R. DiFranco is running unopposed for the Republican nomination in the 12th Subcircuit. And that's the entire universe of Republican judicial candidates in Cook County.)
