Dominique C. Ross to make Appellate Court bid, too

Sometimes Anonymous shares good (and verifiable) information.

An anonymous commenter to yesterday's post about Judge John Ehrlich's Appellate Court campaign announcement took me to task for not knowing that Judge Dominique C. Ross is also running for the Appellate Court. Well, now I know -- and, yes, that's a link to Judge Ross's campaign website in the preceding sentence. It will be added to the Sidebar in due course.

Ross was elected to a 5th Subcircuit vacancy in 2008 and retained in 2014 and 2020. She currently serves in the Domestic Relations Division. She is a former President of the Illinois Judicial Council.

Ross's campaign biography also includes a statement about how she dealt with the COVID-19 pandemic:

During the unprecedented times of the current worldwide pandemic, Judge Ross has worked diligently within her Division and Trial Team to ensure that the parties appearing before her remotely continue being served fairly and judiciously. She is a member of the Post Pandemic Committee headed by the Division’s Presiding Judge, formed for the purpose of determining and implementing court procedures that will remain in place or change upon reemergence from the pandemic.

It will be interesting to see if other candidates advise of their individual responses to the pandeic as more campaign sites go up.
