Judicial races show county by county partisan contrasts
In St. Clair and Madison counties partisan interest colors judicial races while Washington County’s State’s Attorney Brian Trentman lost a primary bid for resident circuit judge. Experts note local party elites rarely back judges as they raise little money and offer few jobs. A study by ICJL and Illinois Lawsuit Abuse Watch found 75 percent of contributions came from lawyers in personal injury, class action or medical malpractice.
