Why your support matters

Through this single fundraising event, the Committee endeavors to raise sufficient funds to support the Cook County Judges seeking retention. The Committee’s goals are: (1) to foster intelligent voting that will lead to the retention of experienced judges and (2) to eliminate the need for the judges who seek retention to engage in individual fundraising efforts. Please contribute and enlist the aid of others.

The Committee needs your support.
The Retention Judges deserve your support.
