CHICAGO - According to records obtained from courthouses across Illinois, Third District Appellate Court candidate John Anderson has been convicted or pled guilty 25 times amid 33 run-ins with law enforcement.

Anderson has been brought before the law on numerous charges, including retail theft, reckless driving, transportation of open alcohol in a vehicle, driving on a suspended license, over twenty excessive speeding charges, and driving with expired plates and no insurance.

“The Third District Appellate Court and the millions of people in Northeastern Illinois deserve a leader like Judge Kenton Skarin who leads with integrity and works hard for the people he serves. We cannot allow a career criminal like John Anderson to serve and in November, Illinois can elect a leader who follows our laws instead of breaking them,” ILGOP Kathy Salvi said in a statement.

This November, Illinois voters have a choice between Kenton Skarin, a judge who was first in his class at Northwestern Law and is committed to faster, smarter, fairer courts, and John Anderson, a criminal who has dozens of run-ins with law enforcement.Check out a new Ad, “Reckless John,” and review judicial records from Anderson’s cases here.
