United Hellenic Voters of America makes endorsements in some Cook County judicial races

The United Hellenic Voters of America has released its endorsements of candidates running in both the Democratic and Republican primaries in Cook and some surrounding counties (mostly DuPage), including some endorsements of candidates seeking judicial vacancies in the upcoming Democratic primary.

(There are, of course, no Republicans seeking countywide judicial vacancies in Cook County this year. Regular FWIW readers know this, certainly, but a lot of non-regulars, e.g. primary voters looking for information about Cook County judicial candidates, are happening upon this site these days and I feel constrained to mention this fact now and again.)

In any event, the UHVA did not make a lot of endorsements in contested Cook County judicial races -- none in countywide races for the Circuit Court, for example. But here is the short list of the UHVA's endorsements in contested primary races:

Supreme Court Vacancy

Jesse G. Reyes

Appellate Court Vacancy

Celia Louise Gamrath (Delort vacancy)

Subcircuit Vacancy

Jeffrey G. Chrones (18th Subcircuit - Converted from Edidin vacancy)

The UHVA did endorse two 12th Subcircuit candidates, Alon Stein (Dickler vacancy) and Frank J. Andreou (Quinn vacancy), who are unopposed in the March primary, but who face Republican opponents in November.

In other countywide races of interest to judges and practitioners alike, the UHVA endorsed Clayton Harris III for State's Attorney and Mariyana Spyropoulos for Clerk of the Circuit Court.
