In this life, let me be a conduit of justice so that justice flows like a mighty stream.

Retain Judge Ieshia Gray

Six years ago, I was honored to be elected by the people of Cook County as your judge. My grassroots campaign was built on the belief that justice should be impartial and equitable, regardless of socioeconomic status, neighborhood, or appearance. I have always emphasized that justice must embody respect and fairness, and that those I serve deserve a justice system built brick by brick on the common principles of decency and integrity. These values have guided my life and my tenure as a judge. For me, justice is, and will always be, about people.

 

 

As I seek your vote once again, I promise to continue championing these principles. Here are a few reasons why you should vote for me:

1.     Proven Commitment to Justice: I have more than 20 years of legal experience.  Prior to becoming a judge, I litigated complex criminal cases as a Cook County Public Defender litigating over a hundred trials.  I currently serve out of the Markham Courthouse and preside over the Sauk Village Restorative Justice Community Court.

2.     Community Engagement: I have actively engaged with the Cook County community, listening to your concerns about the Judicial system.  I am a committed community volunteer often speaking at school career days and community outreach programs.

3.     Integrity and Decency: My tenure has been marked by unwavering integrity and decency, ensuring that every decision I make upholds the highest ethical standards.  I have presided over a diverse array of cases ranging from small claims to complex, high-stakes personal injury litigation. 

4.     Advocacy for Equity: I have tirelessly worked to promote equity within the justice system, striving to make it more accessible and fair for all.

5.     Experience and Dedication: With six years of experience on the bench, I have the knowledge and dedication needed to continue serving you effectively and justly.  My record as a judge demonstrates a consistent dedication to ensuring that justice is fair and impartial. 

Your vote for me, Ieshia Gray, is a vote for a justice system that truly serves the people, built on the principles of fairness, integrity, and equity. Together, we can continue to make Cook County a place where justice prevails for everyone.
