Democratic Committeemen in Cook County's 12th Judicial Subcircuit have voted to endorse Judge Carrie E. Hamilton for the Tristano vacancy and James E. Hanlon, Jr. for the "A" vacancy in that subcircuit.
Judge Hamilton currently holds the Tristano vacancy pursuant to appointment by the Illinois Supreme Court. Hanlon was a candidate for the Jordan vacancy in the 12th Subcircuit in 2014.
According to an email provided to FWIW from Northfield Township Committeeman Mike Kreloff, should an additional vacancy open up in the 12th Subcircuit in time for the 2016 Primary, Louis Apostol would be "strongly considered" for endorsement -- assuming he does not run, or circulate petitions to run, against Hamilton or Hanlon. Ralph Meczyk also appeared before the 12th Subcircuit Committeemen, according to Kreloff's email.
