Dan Balanoff campaign website launched

A campaign website has been launched in support of Dan Balanoff's 2022 judicial campaign. That's a link to the campaign website in the preceding sentence; a link has been added to the site Sidebar.

Licensed in Illinois since 2007, according to ARDC, Balanoff practices with the firm of Balanoff & Associates on the Southeast Side.

Balanoff was a candidate for an 8th Subcircuit vacancy in 2020, but withdrew before the primary.

Balanoff's campaign website includes a reproduction of a lengthy 1989 Sun-Times article profiling the Balanoff family. Balanoff's father is Robert Balanoff, the Acting Presiding Judge of the Child Protection Division. Robert Balanoff was not yet on the bench when the 1989 Sun-Times article first appeared. The Balanoff on the bench then was Dan Balanoff's grandmother, Miriam. That's her picture with Tom McNamee's article.

I appeared before her.

Hmmmmm.

While his campaign website includes the lengthy article about his family history, Balanoff does not include much by way of a personal campaign biography. But it does include a lengthy personal statement. An excerpt (emphasis as in original):

If you entrust me with your safety and your vote, I'll be a guardian of justice for all citizens, both in and outside of the courtroom. Everyday on the bench, I'll embody the fairness and compassion we so desperately need in these troubling times, while doing my part to keep our streets, our neighborhoods, and our families safe.

You have my word.
