Another fundraiser that may be of interest to Cook County Judicial hopefuls

If you read the newspapers, what's left of 'em, or watch television news, you probably think first and foremost of Don Harmon, pictured here, as State Senate President Don Harmon.

But what matters so much more to the aspiring Cook County judicial candidate is another of Mr. Harmon's titles, namely, Chair of the Circuit Court Committee of the Cook County Democratic Party.

And the Chair of the Circuit Court Committee is having a fundraiser, Wednesday, November 10, starting at 7:30 p.m., at FitzGerald's, 6615 W. Roosevelt Road, in Berwyn. Tickets are $100 each and, of course, sponsorships are available (Front Row Seat - $300, Backstage Pass - $500, Talent Scout - $1,000, All Access Pass - $2,500, or I'm With the Band - $5,000). Two admission tickets come with each sponsorship. To purchase tickets, click on this ActBlue weblink.

Mind you, showing up for a fundraiser (even if you actually pay for your ticket -- even if you in fact kick in for a sponsorship) will not get anybody slated. It may help get you noticed, bringing you to the attention of persons who might... someday... maybe... if (and only if) it suits their purposes... assist your ambitions. So, please, don't spend the mortgage money or the grocery money on a quixotic trip to Berwyn (or anywhere else). But I note this fundraiser for the potential benefit of the unconnected judicial wannabes who may have the discretionary income, and spare time, to indulge in such activities and who (being unconnected) would not otherwise hear of this event.

And one other thing, from the FitzGerald's website:

If you go, bring your vax card.

Unless you are trying to get slated, and have a real chance of doing so (you would already know if you do), giving this guy any money is a complete waste of time and money.
