EDWARDSVILLE — Christopher Threlkeld has announced his candidacy for a circuit judge vacancy in 2022.
A Republican, Threlkeld will run to fill the vacancy created when Circuit Judge David Dugan was confirmed to serve in the federal district court.
Threlkeld has been a circuit judge since February 2020 when he was appointed by Supreme Court Justice Lloyd A. Karmeier (retired). He was reappointed in December 2020.
Threlkeld serves in the civil division and presides over Law division cases. He has also served as the presiding judge over arbitration and other civil dockets. While he was the presiding judge over arbitration, he established remote arbitration hearings during the COVID-19 pandemic.
