Licensed to practice law in Illinois since 1983, according to ARDC, this is Kilgallon's first judicial campaign.
A Sauganash native and a graduate of Loyola Academy, according to his campaign bio, Kilgallon worked as a Deputy Sheriff by day while attending IIT/Chicago Kent Law School at night. He currently practices with the Kilgallon Law Offices; his résumé includes stints with the Chicago Corporation Counsel's Office and, later, with Hinshaw & Culbertson. He has contributed chapters to IICLE handbooks on Premises Liability and the Investigation of Premises Liability Cases from a Defense Perspective. In addition to extensive tort defense work, Kilgallon has provided coverage advice regarding several different types of insurance policies.
Kilgallon and his wife, Toni, a teacher, have three children and six grandchildren. His father was a Circuit Court judge.
Liam Kelly is already backed by the "progressives" (translation = hipster socialists and the north suburban Democratic machine) and James Murphy is supported by the FOP (there are plenty of Kim Foxx haters on the NW side). Not sure if Kilgallon has any lane here.
