As mentioned in the post below, Circuit Court Judge Raymond W. Mitchell filed for the Harris vacancy on the Appellate Court yesterday, the first day of the special judicial filing period.
Two candidates filed for the Callahan vacancy on the Circuit Court, Mary Bernadette McMahon and Suzanne Therese McEneely.
McMahon is an Assistant Cook County State's Attorney, according to ARDC. She was admitted to practice in Illinois in 2005. This is apparently her first attempt at judicial office.
McEneely, on the other hand, was a countywide candidate in the 2020 primary. Admitted to practice in 2001, according to ARDC, she has spent nearly her entire legal career as an Assistant Public Defender.
Interestingly, both of these candidates live within walking distance of each other on Chicago's Northwest Side.
Neither candidate has yet set up a campaign website.
No one has yet filed for the Groebner vacancy in the far northwest suburban 13th Subcircuit. FWIW has received information about four possible candidates, at least three of whom have sought vacancies in that subcircuit previously. No 13th Subcircuit campaign has yet contacted FWIW directly.
Neither of the Cook County Democratic Party's pre-slated alternates for the Harris or Callahan vacancies has yet filed. The special judicial filing period ends April 4.
