Second Ward offers endorsements in Cook County judicial races

The 2nd Ward Democrats have endorsed Nathaniel Roosevelt Howse for the Illinois Supreme Court.

With that single exception, the 2nd Ward Democrats follow the Cook County Democratic Party's judicial slate.

In the race for the Fleming vacancy in the 8th Subcircuit, the 2nd Ward Democrats have endorsed Jonathan Clark Green. For the Nega vacancy in the 6th Subcircuit, the 2nd Ward Democrats support Anne Shaw.

The Organizing the Data posts are being updated accordingly.

This seems like a good point to mention (again) that, where a ward organization follows, or largely follows, the county slate in judicial races, I am not separately listing that organization separately in the Organizing the Data posts.

Why?

In theory, when the Cook County Democratic Party puts together a judicial slate, all 50 ward organizations and 30 township organizations are expected to support it.

If you've been following these endorsement posts over the last several days, you've noted that many ward and township organizations depart from the slate, often substantially. Those are generally the endorsements I add to the Organizing the Data posts. In some cases it may appear that a list of endorsements is longer, perhaps significantly longer, for a challenger than for a slated candidate. But with endorsements, as with many things, it's not how many you have, it's how much the ones you have are worth. We'll know how much any of these endorsements are worth in a little over 24 hours.

Hat tip to Frank Calabrese for the 2nd Ward palm card.
