Gary Seyring Running for Cook County Judge

After a long, cold wait in line at the Illinois State Board of Elections office in Springfield Monday, Schaumburg attorney Gary Seyring filed with 3,092 signatures, three times the amount required, according to a press release.

"It is humbling to me that so many residents in the district have signed my petition," said Seyring. "While I know that gathering petition signatures is always challenging, I am thankful for having so many friends and neighbors who want to bring common sense and ethics to the bench in Cook County."

Seyring, a 39-year resident of Schaumburg, threw his hat in the ring for the Republican Nomination in Cook County’s 13th Judicial Subcircuit. The district includes all or part of Schaumburg, Hanover, Wheeling, Palatine, and Barrington Townships. In addition to practicing as an attorney, Seyring is also a Certified Public Accountant (CPA), giving him a breadth of experience that potential challengers may lack.

"Having knocked on hundreds of doors myself, I know that the residents of the Northwest Suburbs want to change Cook County by sending honest, ethical people to the bench," said Seyring. "While we have a long campaign ahead, I will always strive to serve our residents with distinction."

Seyring earned his B.S. in Accounting from Northern Illinois University, while participating in the University’s Honors Internship Program. He passed the CPA exam in 1974 and worked his way through law school at John Marshall, where he received his law degree in 1978. Seyringhas resided in Schaumburg for 39 years with his wife, Terry, and their two sons, Brendan and Bryan.
