A new poll has given fourth Judicial Circuit Judge Douglas Gruenke, a recommended rating in the Illinois State Bar Association Judicial Advisory Poll.  The purpose of the ISBA Judicial Advisory Poll is to solicit information from members of the bar that possess knowledge of a judicial candidate’s professional qualifications as to whether a judicial candidate is qualified for judicial office.  

Judge Gruenke is qualified and says that he is humbled by the results of the ISBA poll.  Judge Gruenke stated that he has built his legal career on his reputation and is proud to see so many responses from the legal community affirming his qualifications. 

The Primary Election is set for March 19th and early voting has already begun. The Illinois Fourth Judicial Circuit is comprised of Christian, Clay, Clinton, Effingham, Fayette, Jasper, Marion, Montgomery, and Shelby Counties.
