To All Candidates for Judge of Cook County, IL:

Judge LaGuina Clay-Herron and Judge Lewis Nixon will moderate a public meeting and discussion with candidates for Judge of Cook County, IL on Feb. 27th sponsored by the Chicago Citizen Newspaper.

The Chicago Citizen Newspaper is hosting a “Town Hall Meeting” for candidates running for judge in Cook County, IL. The forum will be held on Saturday, Feb. 27th, 2016 at 10:00 a.m. at the QBG Foundation building (806 E. 78th St., Chicago IL 60619). This event will be open to the public and will be moderated by Judge LaGuina Clay-Herron and Judge Lewis Nixon.

As you know, successful candidates will be in position to make life altering decisions for many families in our community. Just as we are encouraging the public to attend, we also want you, the candidate, to take part in this important event.

The ad will run in both the Feb. 17 and Feb. 24 editions of the Chicago Citizen Newspaper, a weekly publication. If space allows, a follow up story about the event (with photos featuring all participating judges) will run on Mar. 2.
