And the second person to file for the Harris vacancy is....

Devlin Joseph Schoop.

Schoop's papers were filed early this morning at the Illinois State Board of Elections.

Licensed in Illinois since 1997, according to ARDC, Schoop currently works for the firm of Henderson Parks. He has no campaign website at this point, but his firm biography stresses his experience "in over 800 civil lawsuits in federal and state courts nationwide, including action in Arkansas, Arizona, California, Kentucky, Illinois, Indiana, Minnesota, North Carolina, Texas and Wisconsin." Schoop has tried more than two dozen cases in state and federal courts, according to his firm bio.

Schoop also served as a Cook County Circuit Court judge from 2015-2016. He was appointed to a countywide vacancy in July 2015 but was defeated in the 2016 primary. He was a candidate for a 2nd Subcircuit vacancy in the 2018 election cycle.
