Appointed Haitian Judge Jean Baptiste running for seat in Chicago



Judge Lionel Jean-Baptiste Seeks To Retain Judgeship


Pictured in photo, standing, are Judge Lionel Jean-Baptiste and his wife of 35 years, Lenore Jean-Baptiste, during a training session of supporters at Boocoo Café.

Last month, Judge Lionel Jean-Baptiste kicked off his campaign for Circuit Court Judge of Cook County’s 9th Judicial Subcircuit. On Sept. 7, approximately 50 of his supporters met at Boocoo Café, 1823 Church, and received training on how to properly collect signatures to place him on the ballot.

Judge Jean-Baptiste was appointed as a judge to the 9th judicial subcircuit by the Illinois Supreme Court in March 2011 to fill the remaining term of a vacancy. He is now seeking to retain that judgeship in the March 20, 2012 election. He previously practiced law for more than 20 years, and was an alderman on the Evanston City Council for 10 years. He is a graduate of Evanston Township High School, Princeton University and Chicago-Kent Law School.

Judge Jean-Baptiste is the founder and past chairman of the Haitian Congress to Fortify Haiti and has coordinated efforts to bring relief to the victims of the devastating earthquake there. As an alderman, he served on many committees and initiated programs to help young adults stay away from crime and succeed in life. He served on the Restorative Justice Committee to help implement conflict resolution strategies and reduce violence.

Judge Jean-Baptiste has been found qualified or recommended by all bar associations that rate judicial candidates in Cook County, and highly qualified by the Cook County Bar Association.

  1. Vote and Contribute to the election of a Haitian Judge Democratic March 20, 2012!

    When a Haitian National is seeking public office anywhere in the U.S Diaspora, he/she shall be able to rely on your unconditional support like the Jews and other nations.

    Ladies and gentlemen, an appointed Haitian judge in Chicago is seeking to keep that post. Please, support him. As a U.S. citizen, as a Haitian-American or any naturalized U.S. Citizen, you can support any candidate in the continental of the United States.

    Please, support him!

    Folks! We are in an election season; the focus should be only on election. Anything else can wait after the election. Contribute whatever you can! Do not forget that you are supposed to be the first one to come to his support.
    May God bless his campaign and may you contribute financially to his campaign
    NB: Please, forward this note to your people and ask them to support him. Today, a Haitian-American Judge is at the center stage and he needs your support.

    Good Luck Judge Jean- Baptiste!

  2. Friends,

    I could not stress enough how important it is for each and every one of us to support the campaign of the Honorable Judge Lionel Jean-Baptiste to ensure his electoral victory, which will be ours all. The dedication, leadership, vision, passion and, yet, humility of Judge Jean-Baptiste to the Haitian cause, for decades past and to the present, both in the Diaspora and on the motherland, are unparalleled. Among his many Haiti-centered achievements is the creation of the Haitian Congress to Fortify Haiti, a civic organization that has become the face of Haiti in the Midwest and has been at the forefront of the campaign for dual citizenship.

    But this e-mail would prolong indefinitely if I were to recall all he has done for the betterment of our community. To learn more, please visit the following website:
