"Deidre Baumann appeared before me when I served as judge on the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois. I found her always to be a highly skilled, well informed, and wonderfully gifted advocate. She is a credit to the Bar, and through her dedication has come to share great respect among my colleagues. She is a person of high integrity and honesty. Her extensive skills and legal experience makes her an ideal candidate for Cook County Judge. Deidre Baumann will serve the community with the kind of intellect, impartiality, and fairness that we all desire in our judiciary. "

Candidate Deidre Baumann is interviewed by reporters after filing a class action lawsuit on behalf of the hundreds of families affected by the Burr Oak Cemetery case. Deidre remains at the forefront of the efforts to achieve monetary and equitable relief for those with loved ones buried at this historic Chicago southside cemetery (2009).
I believe I can bring fresh energy and an independent voice to the Cook County Courts. I have the perspective of a long-time Chicago resident, and the knowledge of an active community member who has worked across a wide spectrum of urban issues. I bring the professional lens of years spent in law, and a passion borne out of many inner city experiences.

My mission as a Cook County Judge will be to diligently use my legal expertise, integrity and compassion to serve ALL the people of Cook County, and ensure the search for truth results in Equal Justice under the law.
