Endorsement, Walkers and Invitation

We have three important items to share with you.

The Journal & Topics Newspaper has endorsed Laura Morask for 12th subcircuit Judge.

…excerpt….

Morask For Judge

Morask’s rise to a level of supervisor of the county’s Chicago West side gang crimes and senior sex crimes prosecutor staffs and her dedication to improving the justice system’s processing and investigation of these crimes, is outstanding evidence of her dedication and leadership skills.   Her jury trial experience of the last 21 years, her experience in Class X felony cases, and her experience dealing with some of the most serious criminal cases in Illinois in recent years, have given her unique and extensive insights into courtrooms and the life and responsibilities of judges. All of this leads the Journal to endorse Morask in this race.

Chicago Tribune Voter Guide and Volunteer Breakfast both a Success

Chicago Tribune

The Chicago Tribune Voter Guide is now online.  Laura Morask’s 12th Judicial Sub circuit race in Cook County stacks up the candidates and gives you an understanding in their own words on why each candidate is qualified to be judge. (full text below)

“The Chicago Tribune Voter Guide provides voters a chance to understand my qualifications,  on many levels.  I always welcome the chance to meet people face to face and share with them the importance of Judges in our country.  I realize sometimes voters don’t have the chance to meet each candidate and the Tribune’s Voter Guide is a great resource for these voters.”

A recent face to face meeting with Laura was her Volunteer Breakfast.  It was a really great opportunity to talk with voters, and plan for the upcoming work towards the election.  Laura appreciates everyone who made it and was also happily surprised with how many people emailed support and how they will help in other ways.  Thanks everyone.  Every little bit helps.

Laura speaks to Wheeling Township

Republicans of Wheeling Township - Laura Morask Speaks by David Gonzalez

Laura ventured out during the flooding and downpour to meet with Wheeling Township supporters.  She spoke to over 50  hardy attendees who braved the rain to meet the 8 new precinct captains and hear the speakers.  In addition to Laura Morask, candidate for the 12th Judicial sub-circuit of Cook County, other speakers were Tony Peraica, Matt Murphy, and Andy McKenna.

The biggest obstacle to attending the meeting were all the flooded intersections.  Immediately following the meeting Laura left to monitor Maine Township’s emergency situation due to flooding.  She worked with the township to declare a state of emergency to get county and state aid as quickly as possible.
