Brad Trowbridge to seek 8th Subcircuit vacancy

Bradley R. Trowbridge has announced plans to seek the Gordon vacancy in the 8th Judicial Subcircuit. That's a link to his campaign website in the preceding sentence; a link has also been added to the Sidebar on this site.

This is Trowbridge's third attempt to obtain an 8th Subcircuit vacancy; he ran before in 2012 and 2020. Accoring to his new campaign website, Trowbridge has lined up some significant support for this latest venture. Here is the list of endorsements he includes on his website:

  • Tom Tunney, 44th Ward Alderperson/Committeeperson,

  • Harry Osterman, 48th Ward Alderperson/Committeeperson,

  • Pat Dowell, 3rd Ward Alderperson/Committeeperson,

  • Lucy Moog, 43rd Ward Democratic Committeeperson

  • Paul Rosenfeld, 47th Democratic Committeeperson,

  • Sean Tenner, 46th Ward Committeeperson,

  • Maggie O'Keefe, 40th Ward Committeeperson, and

  • John Daley, Cook County Commissioner/ 11th Ward Committeeperson.

Trowbridge operates the Law Offices of Bradley R. Trowbridge on North Sheffield Ave. He has been licensed to practice law in Illinois since 2000, according to ARDC. His website also notes that he has an M.A. in Human Development Counseling and 10 years' experience in counseling "vulnerable and at-risk populations."

A former president of the Chicago Metropolitan Battered Women's Network, according to his campaign website, Trowbridge has also taught law courses as an adjunct (at what used to be known as John Marshall Law School) and published on family law issues. His campaign website also notes volunteer work with Equality Illinois, the Illinois Safer Schools Alliance, First Defense Legal AID, PAWS, and The Coalition to Stop Gun Violence.

You better re-check some of those endorsements. Some probably cut aged since last cycle. And Pat Dowe is sorta busy herself this cycle.

I'm going to guess the candidate knows who supports him more than someone who doesn't know Dowell's name.
