IVI-IPO recommends "no" vote on three retention judges

The Independent Voters of Illinois - Independent Precinct Organization has recommended "no" votes on three Cook County Circuit judges seeking retention this November.

Singled out for involuntary retirement by the IVI-IPO are Judges Mauricio Araujo (who has already resigned from the bench), Michael Toomin, and Kenneth Wadas.

Although targeted for defeat by the Cook County Democratic Party, Toomin is recommended favorably for retention by the Chicago Bar Association and all of the Alliance bar groups except the Black Women Lawyers' Association. Wadas is endorsed by the Cook County Democratic Party for retention and is rated favorably by both the CBA and all of the Alliance bar groups. Toomin and Wadas are both "Highly Recommended" by the Suburban Bar Coalition.

IVI-IPO aren't that Independent. They mostly Democrats, especially Danny Davis. ☹️

It isn’t very influential either. Just a bunch of Hyde Park hacks who suck up to Taxwinkle.

cx: They mostly endorse Democrats, especially Jan Schakowsky, Danny Davis and Toni Preckwinkle. Aren't they members of IVI-IPO? ☹️
