Dawn Gonzalez claims slating in 11th Subcircuit, announces October 30 campaign event

Supporters of Dawn Gonzalez's 11th Subcircuit judicial bid are planning a Meet-N-Greet for their candidate on Monday, October 30, from 5:00 to 7:00 p.m., at the Madison Street Theater, 1010 Madison Street, Oak Park.

There is no charge to attend this event (although campaign donations for the event are available at this link) but reservations are required (same link). Light snacks will be served. There will also be a cash bar, the proceeds of which will benefit the Madison Street Theater Performing Arts Center.

The Gonzalez campaign is also claiming slating for their candidate from the Democratic Party Committeepersons whose wards or townships have precincts in the newly reconfigured 11th Subcircuit.

As of this writing, FWIW has not received confirmation of this assertion from any of the Committeepersons involved. While the Democratic Party's countywide slating is a semi-public event (the candidate presentations are open to the public, while voting for the slate is conducted in closed session), subcircuit slating meetings are not necessarily announced in advance... and sometimes never at all.

There are two vacancies in the 11th Subcircuit. A separate post will follow if and when I can verify the outcome of any 11th Subcircuit slating process. I will be looking into that in the coming days.
