Nick Kantas announces for Gavin vacancy in the 4th Subcircuit

There are two vacancies in the 4th Judicial Subcircuit this year. Assistant State's Attorney Nick Kantas' new campaign website is unusual in that it specifies that Kantas will be seeking the Gavin vacancy there. That's a link to Kantas's website in the preceding sentence; a link has been added to the site Sidebar as well.

Kantas has been licensed to practice law in Illinois since 2004, according to ARDC. A career prosecutor, Kantas worked his way up to a First Chair in the Felony Trial Division before being appointed Supervisor in the Juvenile Justice Division, according to his campaign bio.

According to his campaign bio, Kantas serves as Commissioner for the Lyons Township Mental Health Commission and as Coordinator for the Western Springs Peer Jury Program. He also has served as a Trustee of the Lyons Township School Treasurer's Office.

A recent Sun-Times article noted that Kantas is married to Maren Ronan, a lawyer and lobbyist, and the daughter of retired State Rep. Al Ronan. Kantas' campaign bio notes that he and his wife have two children.
