You CAN Take It With You: Judicial Candidate Evaluations into Illinois Voting Booths
45 of the candidates running in Tuesday’s Cook County Illinois primary were deemed “not recommended” or “not qualified” by at least one reviewing organization, and the SunTimes wants to know how voters are supposed to discern the best candidates when they’re faced with numerous options in the booth.
Here’s one way: Take the evaluations with you.
Using www.voteforjudges.org, a Chicago Appleseed project since 2006, you’ll find a collection of Cook County judicial candidate evaluation of candidates.
And the best part is: you can take these evaluations with you into the ballot box!
The judges you elect on Tuesday may decide cases involving business licensing, divorce, civil rights, crimes, contracts and more. All of our lives are affected every day by their ability to manage a courtroom, apply the law, and address parties with thoughtfulness and integrity. Help strengthen the judiciary and take the evaluations with you.
