Judge Gerald Cleary has filed to hold this seat, a seat to which he was appointed in late 2016.
But Cleary was passed over by Democratic slatemakers in the 10th Subcircuit in favor of Colleen Reardon Daly this past August. Daly is also a candidate in this race.
Also filing for this vacancy yesterday were Noreen Connolly and Jill Rose Quinn. (A link to Quinn's website has been added to the blog Sidebar along with those of the other candidates in this race.)
Quinn has been licensed as an attorney in Illinois since 1983, according to ARDC. She practices from an office on North Elston Avenue, just west of Cicero (business website link). According to her campaign bio, Quinn is one of the "few transgender legal professionals in Chicago." The bio notes that "[b]eing transgender has taught Jill firsthand what it is like to be marginalized and the vital importance of treating all people with fairness, decency and compassion."
