New 20th Subcircuit attracts the most candidates so far

Assistant Attorney General Nadine Wichern filed nominating petitions to run for the new 20th Subcircuit vacancy this morning in Springfield, bringing the total number of candidates for that vacancy to four.

Four is not a particularly large number -- but at this point, early on the last day of regular filing -- it represents the single most crowded field for any Cook County judicial vacancy.

In addition to Wichern, the three other candidates for the 20th Subcircuit vacancy are John Poulos, Michael J. Zink, and Nickolas Pappas.

The links above are to prior FWIW articles about Wichern and Zink.

Pappas, who has been licensed in Illinois since 1995, according to ARDC, practices with Pappas Law Offices, P.C.

Poulos has been licensed in Illinois since 2007, according to ARDC, and practcies with Poulos Law. FWIW has so far been unable to track down campaign websites for either of these candidates, but that will presumably change.
