Another candidacy confirmed: Amanda "Mandy" Pillsbury to make 2022 judicial bid

What do you know about that? Anonymous got another one right.

A recent comment suggested that Cook County Assistant State's Attorney Amanda "Mandy" Pillsbury was planning a 2022 judicial campaign. And, sure enough, there's already a campaign website; that's a link to the site in the preceding sentence. (A list of all candidate websites will be put up in this site's Sidebar sometime in the next several weeks.)

Pillsbury's campaign biography stresses her courtroom experience (she is now a Trial Supervisor in the Felony Review Unit, it says) and her roots on Chicago's Northwest Side. A graduate of (the recently closed) Mother Theodore Guerin High School, the campaign bio also notes the many "proud union members" among her family. Licensed in Illinois since 2004, according to ARDC, Pillsbury is a career Assistant State's Attorney.

Pillsbury previously sought countywide vacancies in the 2018 and 2020 election cycles.

What would you do without my tips, Jack? There are more past candidates returning this cycle.

So this begs the obvious questions: is Hillison running too and, if so, in the same vacancy? Ladies figure this out because the both of you in the same race didn't work out too well in 2018 or 2020. Fact, not opinion or knock on either of you.
