Upcoming Cook County Democratic fundraisers that may be of interest to judicial candidates

I feel a little guilty running this list, like I might be contributing in some way to the delinquency of a judicial candidate or something. If I were in the BGA, I'm afraid I might be drummed out.

On the other hand, the unconnected candidate doesn't always hear about these opportunities to see and be seen. And if the unconnected candidate's spouse is willing to tolerate the diversion of money from their retirement funds, or their childrens' college funds, who am I to deny the unconnected candidate the opportunity to throw away money on the off chance that said unconnected candidate might forge some meaningful connection that may, somehow, some way, ultimately redound to his or her benefit?

So without further hand-wringing, herewith the list (events outside of Cook County have been filtered out of this list):
