UPDATE: Jim
Murphy
Wins Judge Race for New Sub-circuit
Jim Murphy prevailed in the election for the first judge for the new
1st Subcircuit. Local legal historians believe that Jim is
the first Aurora Democrat to be elected to the bench in over 75 years.
Election results for the 1st Subcircuit come from 2 election
authorities--the City of
Aurora election commission and the Kane County
Clerk for Montgomery, North Aurora and unincorporated
areas.
The total results for the 2 election authorities are as follows:
Jim
Murphy (D)
19,106 64.5%
Fred
Morelli
(R) 10,585
35.5%
The Clerk's results are located here.
You may also link to the separate Aurora election commission results
from that Kane County web page.
Message from Judge-elect Murphy
To my family,
friends, supporters, volunteers, co-workers, and all of the great folks
in Aurora, Montgomery, and North Aurora who make up this new 1st
Subcircuit, many of whom I met during the campaign: THANK
YOU. I hope I will earn your
continued trust and confidence by doing a good job for you. I
also want continue to participate after court hours in community
programs for senior citizens and at risk youth. Since this
subcircuit is a new concept for Kane County, I want to make it relevant
for you, my neighbors and friends, and work with you toward the
betterment of our "hometown."
Again, thank
you so much for all of your efforts and good wishes on my behalf, and I
look forward to working as a Judge for you.
If you have
any questions, you may contact me by email, or at (630) 896-9711.
Sincerely,
Democratic
Circuit Judge-elect
