Photo Gallery: Politicians Parade on July 4th

Incumbents, challengers and open-seat aspirants greet the crowds on the Fourth of July.

Along with marching bands, floats and civic organizations, elected officials and those who aspire to be public servants flock to participate on Fourth of July parades throughout the area. Deerfield’s parade was no exception. Rep. Robert Dold (R-Kenilworth) walked with a large group of supporters a number of spaces behind his challenger for the 10th District Seat, Brad Schneider of Deerfield. Dold needed a spot toward the end of Deerfield’s noontime event because he was coming from Glenview, which started its parade at 11:30 a.m., before heading to Northbrook, as did Schneider, at 2 p.m. In addition to Deerfield and Northbrook, Schneider and Dold crossed paths in Vernon Hills. Dold also walked in Lake Bluff and Des Plaines while Schneider …

Contested Primaries Emerging for Local Races

Candidates for General Assembly, Lake County State’s Attorney and other offices will battle for party nominations.

At least seven primary races are taking shape as candidates began filing petitions Monday for the March 20 Illinois primary election to earn spots on the ballot to qualify for the Nov. 6 general election. Candidates for all offices except the United States House of Representatives began turning in their paperwork. The deadline is 5 p.m. Monday. The filing period for Congress begins Dec. 23 and ends Dec. 27. While a number of nominations are uncontested, contests are emerging for the Illinois General Assembly, Lake County State’s Attorney, Lake County Recorder, Lake County Coroner and the Lake County Board.

Court Extends Congressional Filing Date

Candidates for 9th and 10th Districts must wait until Dec. 23 to file petitions. All other Illinois office seekers begin today and must finish by Dec. 5.

Candidates for Illinois’s 18 seats in the United States House of Representatives can do nothing but continue to gather signatures on their petitions today as all other office seekers in the state are ready to file their petitions to get on the March 20 primary ballot.  After Gov. Patrick Quinn signed legislation enacting the new Congressional map last summer Republican members of Congress including Rep. Robert Dold (R-Kenilworth) of the 10th Congressional District challenged the new boundaries in federal court. As it considers the case, the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois postponed the filing period for people running for Congress Wednesday. Rather than file petitions today, the Court ordered a delay …

State Senate Candidates Switched Parties

Morrison began as a Republican and Friedman started as a Democrat.

An ideological evolution for West Deerfield Township Supervisor Julie Morrison and Highland Park pediatrician Arie Friedman came close to a direct collision more than 20 years before they decided to try to replace retiring state Sen. Susan Garrett (D-Lake Forest). Friedman is seeking the Republican nomination in the March 20 primary for the 29th State Senate District seat and Morrison is after the Democratic nod. No other Republicans are running at this time. Des Plaines janitor Michael Bausone is considering a run for the Democrats.  From Democrat to Republican Friedman began life as a Democrat growing up in Highland Park. His father, attorney Gene Friedman, ran unsuccessfully for Congress against former Rep. John Porter (R-Wilmette) in …

As someone who knew Dr. Friedman very well during medical school and residency, I have to say that he is one of the most ethical persons I have ever met. I have always admired his commitment to fight for what he believes is right, especially when the issue is important, even if he finds himself the lone voice of reason in the room. I'm a Democrat, and we have different viewpoints on most issues. …   more ›
