A look into a crowded judicial race on Chicago’s south side What makes these judicial races on Chicago’s south side unique
Published 1 month ago
Description
The Illinois primary election is tomorrow (TUES).
In Cook County, circuit judges have the power to make decisions about things like who goes to prison, holds a driver’s license, or keeps their kids.
And they’re elected for long terms — 6 years.
This year, there are fewer judicial candidates running overall, either countywide or in a subcircuit. Most races are uncontested.
But on Chicago’s South Side, there’s an unusually crowded field for 2 open seats.
What could that mean for voters there?
