Meet the Candidate
Justice isn’t just a word to Ava George Stewart—it’s her life’s work. A fierce advocate, educator, and trailblazer, Ava has spent her career fighting for fairness and broadening access to justice throughout Illinois.
Now, she’s running to bring that same unwavering commitment to the bench as a Cook County judge.
Ava isn’t just talking about justice; she’s been delivering it for decades.
As both a private practice attorney and prosecutor, she’s seen the system from all sides. As a law professor at UIC, she’s shaping the next generation of advocates. And long before she earned her law degree, she was on the frontlines, leading nonprofits that served homeless women, children, and families in the city and suburbs.
Big news! Ava George Stewart was officially slated by the Cook County Democratic Party as their endorsed candidate for Cook County Circuit Court Judge.
This is a major milestone and wouldn’t have been possible without early support from the legal community. Let’s keep the momentum going!
