Only one Cook County associate judge, Judge Gregory P. Vazquez, did not receive reappointment. Judge Vazquez was recently the subject of an article by Maya Dukmasova on Injustice Watch, "Videos of Cook County judge with massage parlor owner raise ethics questions." He had also been the subject of other articles on that site.
Pursuant to recently amended Illinois Supreme Court Rule 39, all Illinois associate judges wishing to remain in office must apply for new terms every four years. The terms of all Illinois associate judges end on June 30 of every fourth year subsequent to 1975. Pursuant to Rule 39(c), associate judges must receive a favorable vote from at least three-fifths of the judges of their circuit in order to be retained.
The high retention numbers this year are consistent with recent retention elections.
In 2019, for example, 386 out of 391 associate judges were retained statewide. Of the five who were not retained, only one was from Cook County. In 2015, 376 (out of a total of 384) associate judges were retained. All Cook County associate judges were retained in 2015.
