Two subcircuit candidates have withdrawn from the March primary.
Both Michael O'Malley, who had filed for the Collins-Dole vacancy in the 8th Subcircuit, and Michael B. Kilgallon, who had filed for the Wojkowski vacancy in the 10th Subcircuit, have withdrawn their candidacies, according to the Illinois State Board of Elections website.
Both candidates were facing challenges to their nominating petitions before the Cook County Officers Electoral Board at the time they withdrew.
O'Malley's withdrawal leaves Loveleen Ahuja as the sole candidate for that vacancy in the Democratic Primary. No Republican filed for that vacancy.
Two candidates remain in the race for the Democratic nomination for the 10th Subcircuit Wojkowski vacancy, Liam Kelly and James V. Murphy. Inasmuch as no Republican filed for this vacancy either, the winner of that contest will be unopposed in November.

"I should have filed against her. The 8th is the EASIEST subscircuit to get signatures in. Too bad I don't live there."
The comment so many of you are making right now, but you were all too scared or lazy to throw in. 2024, the Year of the Weak and Cowardly.
It thinned out more than this, Leyhane.
Murray and Gallagher (appellate) and Rice are off the ballot as of this week. Appeals surely to follow. All off for issues concerning the substance of their petitions unrelated to the quantity/quality of signatures.
