Condron is a candidate for the 19th Subcircuit vacancy created by the retirement of Judge Michael J. Kane. In this election cycle, that is the most crowded judicial race: The other candidates filing there are Monica Somerville, Jessica Megan Scheller, and John Harkins.
According to ARDC, Condron has been licensed to practice law in Illinois since 2001. According to his campaign bio, he currently serves as a supervisor in the City of Chicago's Department of Law, representing the City in civil rights cases. Condron began his legal career as an Assistant Cook County State's Attorney, working in that office from 2001 to 2017. He moved into the private sector after that, handling construction cases for O'Rourke, Hogan, Fowler & Dwyer for about five years. He became an Assistant Corporation Counsel in 2023.
Condron's campaign bio notes that he was born in Christ the King Parish, in Chicago's Beverly neighborhood, and that he lives there still, where he and his wife are raising their four children. He is a graduate of Marist High School, the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, and the Chicago-Kent College of Law.

This contest will be decided by who has the best ground game and is the least likely to succumb to the craziness that is entailed with a hotly contested subcircuit race. With the "best" ballot name running unopposed for the other vacancy, the Mount Greenwood Park early voting center better post extra security in early March. Good luck to you all.
One candidate has less than 10 years, but his sister-in-law is related to the 19th Ward Alderman. So I guess that makes him "qualified." Another candidate handled Ed Burke's "worker's compensation program" at City Hall before he was indicted. The other was busy "exonerating" the "innocent" under the Kim Foxx regime. And this guy defends cops. Quite the bumper crop of candidates in the 19th Sub this cycle. The unopposed candidate is married to a comedian. No seriously, she is. Pat McGann is funny as hell too.
Go Dave!! Most qualified attorney for the job.
this guy knows what up!! i’m definitely voting for him!! 10/10 attorney
These new small footprint subcircuit races are bonkers. They reward the most extreme politics. Oh Illinois General Assembly, what hell hath though wrought?
And among the more interesting quirks of recent judicial races, which will surely be on display in the 19th Sub again, you can cue the Girl I Guess blogsters unwittingly (or otherwise) shilling for the FOP candidates like they always do.
Is former judge Bill Raines running in the 5th subcircuit? If he wins, does his JIB get reactivated?
Girl I Guess makes no difference in subcircuits like 19 or the South Suburbs. If you live in the northshore, Evanston, etc., then they/she/her/him/it matters.
Which of these candidates is endorsed by Brandon Johnson, CTU and Black Lives Matter?
