Judge Cara Lefevour Smith, who had been serving by appointment in a 7th Subcircuit vacancy (a vacancy she did not pursue in the March primary), has been appointed to a countywide vacancy created by the retirement of Judge Kathleen M. McGury.
The new appointment was effective July 1. It will terminate December 5, 2022.
Licensed as an attorney in Illinois since 1992, Smith served as a spokesperson for Cook County Sheriff Tom Dart prior to her initial 2019 appointment. She previously served as an Illinois Assistant Attorney General. Her late father, Raymond F. LeFevour, was the President of Wright Jr. College.
Pamela Reaves-Harris is the Democratic Party's nominee for the vacancy that Smith has now vacated. No Republican filed for that vacancy.

I'm glad Judge Smith received the judicial appointment. 😊
During her previous appointment, I didn't like how Black Preachers Ira Acree and Marshall Hatch, along with Black Alderperson Jason Ervin criticized White Judge Smith, a resident of the 7th Subcircuit, presumably because she's White. 😑
If Smith had been Black, nothing would had been said. Like Smith, Judge Pamela Reaves-Harris hadn't served as an elected judge either and resides in the subcircuit.😑
