Smith has endorsed Justice Nathaniel Roosevelt Howse for the Illinois Supreme Court and Justices Michael B. Hyman (Neville, Jr. vacancy) and John Griffin (Simon vacancy) for the Appellate Court.
Smith's endorsements track the Cook County Democratic Party's endorsements in countywide races for the Circuit Court with three exceptions. Smith has announced support for former Judge John O'Meara in the race for the Ford vacancy, for Lorraine Mary Murphy in the race for the Roti vacancy, and for former Judge Russell W. Hartigan for the C. Sheehan vacancy.
In the contest for the Fleming vacancy in the 8th Subcircuit, Smith notes that she has endorsed both Jonathan Clark Green and Bradley R. Trowbridge in prior races, saying it is 'unfortunate' that they are now running against each other. "They are both qualified," she writes.
In other races of interest to FWIW readers, Smith has endorsed Bill Conway for Cook County State's Attorney and Michael M. Cabonargi for Clerk of the Circuit Court.
"Fake News" No public link of an announcement? What kind of endorsement is that?
ReplyDeleteI got the information, I passed it along. Sit down, Donald.
ReplyDeleteMoose and Squirrel report that this not fake news. It is real deal. But like so many committeemen, Smith have no soldiers to get out the word. And in age of Cornoavirus, nobody want "palm" card that oozes with germs. Smith back losers all time. This cycle no different. But Bill Conway will win. He will then back "pro-lock-em-up" slate in 2022, giving $1M to his judicial slate. That buy lots of yard signs and youtube commercials.
ReplyDeleteSmith is not a committeeperson, one would think that those who opine here would at least be armed with basic facts.
ReplyDeleteWho does Committeeperson Lucy Moog endorse?
