Teamsters Joint Council 25 makes endorsements in Cook County judicial races

This list comes from the website of Teamsters Local 710, which represents 12,000 members, including UPS workers and other warehouse workers "throughout the Chicago metropolitan area, as well as ramp workers, spotters, highway drivers and even more in the freight and transportation industries."

FWIW previously posted Cook County endorsements by Teamsters Local 700, which represents public employees, but also under the apparent umbrella of Teamsters Joint Council No. 25.

All this may be obvious stuff to the professional political class, but it is new and different to me, and perhaps some FWIW readers as well.

Teamsters Joint Council No. 25 has made endorsements in a host of races around the state (click here for the full list), but these are their choices in contested Cook County judicial races:

Teamsters Joint Council No. 25 also endorsed four subcircuit candidates who are unopposed in the Democratic primary, but who face Republican opponents in November. These are Alon Stein (12th Subcircuit - Dickler vacancy), Frank J. Andreou (12th Subcircuit - Quinn vacancy), James "Jack" Costello (12th Subcircuit - Schleifer vacancy), and John Hock (18th Subcircuit - Converted from Linn vacancy).

In other races of particular interest to FWIW readers, Teamsters Joint Council No. 25 has endorsed former Appellate Court Justice Eileen O'Neill Burke for State's Attorney and Mariyana Spyropoulos for Clerk of the Circuit Court.
