What follows is a list of the various Cook County judicial vacancies. Each contested vacancy on the list links to a roundup post about that race. Voters can navigate back and forth from this post to any linked contest on their ballot. Each roundup post will be updated as necessary, in some cases multiple times, right on up to St. Patrick's Day. Each linked post collects bar ratings and endorsements that I have been able to verify for every candidate in that race, and there are links that will take you to campaign websites, candidate statements, and questionnaire responses (if any) for each candidate. After you've looked a given race over, a link at the bottom of that post will bring you right back here.
I will keep this post at or near the top of this page in the days leading to the primary.
Please note that scrolling down this page will not necessarily get you to all the Organizing the Data posts. Some will be posted on page two of this site.
Please also note that not every endorsement that a candidate has received will appear on FWIW's roundup posts; I am only including those that I have verified. For more about what endorsements are included, read this post.

So Jack, when will Judge Carolyn Gallagher he making a public apology to Maureen Patricia O’Leary? Because from the looks of the huge billboard on the Dan Ryan and over-sized yard signs along Roosevelt Road and the south side, Ms. O’Leary is putting more effort and resources into this race than Judge Gallagher. Ain’t so easy when you aren’t running against a man of color with a “bad” ballot name, is it your honor.
ReplyDeleteI don't know why Gallagher owes anyone an apology. Whatever her private musings may have been about O'Leary's bona fides, it was Injustice Watch that published them. And read the article: As written, it is not 'Gallagher accuses challenger of being a shill'; rather, it is more that Gallagher agreed with Injustice Watch's preconceived notion.
ReplyDeleteBoth Gallagher and O'Leary are largely self-funding. Gallagher just reported a $1,000 contribution from Patrick Salvi, but almost every other dollar in her campaign fund has come from her own pocket. She's put a little more into her campaign than O'Leary has, and so far she's reported spending a lot more -- but, then, O'Leary's committee was just set up this year and she's not yet filed a D-2.
Why does Anonymous assume that O'Leary is putting her own money into the campaign? As Jack suggested, let's wait until she files a D-2 before jumping to conclusions.
ReplyDeletePatrick Salvi, the Republican? Gallagher takes money from Republicans. "Independent Democrat" indeed. See you next cycle, sister. "Gold" is my ballot name and you have no game. My self-funding will make you cry!
ReplyDeleteYeoman work sorting through a ton of information. Well done, as usual.
