In contested Cook County Judicial races, AMVOTE has made the following endorsements:

Supreme Court Vacancy

Appellate Court Vacancies

Cynthia Y. Cobbs (Cunningham vacancy)
Celia Louise Gamrath (Delort vacancy)

Circuit Court Vacancies

Pablo F. deCastro (Flannery, Jr. vacancy)

Russ Hartigan (Propes vacancy)

Subcircuit Vacancies

Kim Przekota (11th Subcircuit - Daleo vacancy)
Luciano "Lou" Panici, Jr. (15th Subcircuit - Demacopoulos vacancy)
Bridget Colleen Duigan (19th Subcircuit - Converted from Senechalle, Jr. vacancy)

For those who keep track of such things, in countywide races, the AMVOTE PAC endorsements closely track the Cook County Democratic Party's slate, including Clayton Harris III for State's Attorney and Mariyana Spyropoulos for Clerk of the Circuit Court. There are only two departures from the slate -- Reyes for the Supreme Court and Hartigan for the Propes vacancy on the Circuit Court.
