Campaign website launched for Jim Gleffe

A camapign website has been launched in support of Jim Gleffe's campaign for the Cook County Circuit Court bench. That's a link to the site in the preceding sentence; it will be added to the Candidate Sidebar on this site when that is set up.

Licensed in Illinois since 2007, according to ARDC, Gleffe's campaign biography notes that he currently serves as Deputy Chief of Staff and Labor Counsel in the Office of Cook County Clerk Karen Yarbrough.

Before that, Gleffe worked for then-Cook County Recorder of Deeds Karen Yarbrough as chief legal counsel and, later, as the Chief Deputy Recorder and Chief of Staff. Over the course of his legal career, Gleffe has also worked for Illinois Secretary of State Jesse White, serving in the financial securities division of that office (ultimately rising to chief deputy director), and, later, for City of Chicago Clerk Susana Mendoza, serving as a policy analyst.

Gleffe was among those presenting credentials at the Cook County Democratic Party's recent pre-slating meeting. His campaign website states that attorney Michael Kasper is his Campaign Chair, and Kristen Bauer, the president of KBauer Consulting, Inc., is his Campaign Manager. Among those listed as providing consulting for the campaign are 13th Ward Ald. Marty Quinn and Frank Calabrese.
