Judge Daniel B. Shanes announced his candidacy for the Illinois Supreme Court Second District seat today in Lake County. Judge Shanes has more than 14 years of experience as a judge, first as an Associate Judge and for the last 11 years as a full Circuit Judge, having been appointed in 2010, then elected in 2012, and retained by the voters for another full term in 2018.
He currently serves as the Chair of the Illinois Judicial College Board of Trustees by Illinois Supreme Court appointment, teaching judges to better serve people across Illinois.

I thought inmates were prohibited from accessing the internet from prison…
Sounds like a job for the fighting 82nd butthurt bureaucrat investigation division.
Do you know anything about this judge, or is this the usual uninformed negative nonsense from angry people?
If you can’t understand the mock-worthy absurdity, of a platitudes tossing Judicial Branch, in the second most corrupt State in the Country.
I’m afraid I can’t help you.
Another jewish judge
Should judges be clean shaven? Set an example?
Is there anything about this country or our government that you do not hate?
Judge Shane’s is a very qualified, Constitutional judge. In my humble estimation the other candidate should not even be running for many reasons.
Thanks people for your shallow insights.
He looks like he’s a beta male trying to compensate for his shiny pate through pathetic facial stubble sprayed daily with Rogaine.
