Campaign website launches for Kerrie Maloney Laytin

A campaign website has been launched for 6th Subcircuit candidate Kerrie Maloney Laytin (Vega vacancy). That's a link to the campaign website in the preceding sentence; a link has been added to the site Sidebar.

Laytin has been licensed to practice law in Illinois since 2000, according to ARDC. She has served as a Cook County Associate Judge since October 2021. She previously served as a Circuit Court judge pursuant to appointment by the Illinois Supreme Court; she was a candidate for that seat in the 2020 election cycle.

According to her campaign bio, in addition to her judicial service, Laytin has served "the public in government and public interest positions throughout her career, such as Chief Administrative Law Judge for the Illinois Human Rights Commission and Staff Attorney at the Legal Assistance Foundation (now Legal Aid Chicago) representing people living in poverty."

Maloney Laytin's campaign bio states that she "is in her second three-year term as a member of the Board of Directors for High Jump, an organization providing intensive academic enrichment and support to low-income middle school students, primarily of color. She also has volunteered regularly for other community organizations such as the Ark Food Pantry and Stand Up For Kids Chicago, an organization combatting youth homelessness primarily impacting LGBTQ+ youth. She has worked with the Interrupters, an anti-violence organization, and is a supporter of the Jason Foundation, a nationwide not-for-profit dedicated to youth suicide awareness, education, and prevention." Maloney Laytin is also "raising her two children in the 6th Subcircuit and is actively involved in her children’s schools."
