Laura Morask, Maine Township Trustee and candidate for the Cook County Circuit Court Judge of the 12th Subcircuit appeared at the first Maine Township Open House. An event that looks to become an annual meet and greet for the Maine Township residents to meet the folks who run the Maine Township board and offices. There were exhibits and various organizations represented. Laura said, “It was great chance to have face to face meetings with residents and give them access to the wide variety of offices and activities in Maine Township all under one roof. I can see this event really begin to grow for years to come.”

To my friends, family, colleagues and voters: Words alone cannot adequately express my thanks for your show of support not only at the polls on election day but throughout the long hard road of the last six months. This was truly a grassroots, friend-to-friend, helping hands campaign that demonstrated a unity of purpose that is much needed in this era of divisive and bitter politics. To everyone who helped spread the word that qualifications, experience, and ideals are what matter to the vast majority of the American people, I sincerely thank you…

One of the most amazing things I saw throughout these months was the willingness of people I did not yet know personally to reach out, to tell me they believed in my dream and goal of electing a qualified and experienced judiciary and to then offer their time, their name, and their hard-earned money to invest in that dream…

I want to thank most of all my husband Dean and my two teenagers Alex and Jake…

Finally, I would like to congratulate all who participated as candidates in these elections, whether winners or losers and all who came out to vote! I am a firm believer that a person has no business complaining about the status of the country, the courts, or their community if they do not participate in the American process.

Laura J. Morask, Park Ridge, Judicial Candidate, 12th Subcircuit
