Jeremiah Joyce Jr.,[1] known as Jerry Joyce, is an American attorney and politician. He ran for mayor of Chicago in 2019.
Early life and education[edit]
Joyce is the son of former Chicago alderman Jeremiah E. Joyce.[2] He is the brother of former Illinois State Representative Kevin Joyce.
Joyce graduated from Marist High School in 1987.[3][4][5] While at Marist, Joyce was a member of both the football and wrestling teams.[4] In his senior year, the football team won the state championships and the wrestling team took the state title.[4]
Joyce received his bachelor’s degree from Yale University in economics and political science.[2][4][5] He continued to wrestle and play football while at Yale.[4][5][6] He captained Yale's varsity wrestling team.[5]
Joyce received his Juris Doctor from Loyola University Chicago School of Law.[2][5]
Career[edit]
Joyce works as an attorney and a lobbyist.[2][7]
Joyce was once a small-business owner.[5]
Joyce worked as an assistant state's attorney on the executive staff of the Cook County State's Attorney office.[2]
Joyce currently works in private legal practice.[5]
Political career[edit]
2019 Chicago mayoral campaign[edit]
In what was his first bid for elected office, Joyce ran in Chicago's 2019 mayoral election.[2]
Joyce initially challenged the validity of signatures on the candidature petition of candidate Bill Daley, but ultimately withdrew his challenge.[8][9]
Joyce was seen to be positioning himself as a "law and order" candidate.[10] Daley and Joyce were seen to be each competing for similar kinds of voters.[11]
In late-January, a month before the election, the two publicly released polls that included Joyce showed him polling at roughly 1%.[12][13][14] However, by mid-February, Joyce's campaign had conducted a poll which showed him garnering 10% of the vote,[15] and a poll conducted by Change Research within a week of the election showed him polling at 8%.[16]
Joyce ultimately placed seventh in the initial round of the election, with 7.2% of the vote.[17] He was the top-performing candidate in four of the city's wards (Wards 13, 19, 23, and 41).[17]
Failing to advance to the runoff, Joyce subsequently endorsed Lori Lightfoot.[18]
Prospective subsequent political endeavors[edit]
Joyce was speculated as a potential candidate to run for Cook County State's Attorney in 2020,[19] but declined to run.[20]
Personal life[edit]
Joyce lives in the Beverly neighborhood of Chicago.[2] Joyce married his wife, Jannine, in 1999.[4] Jannine Joyce is a pediatrician.[4] They have four children together named Jeremiah, Karina, Christian, and Keyli.[2][4]
Joyce has remained involved at high school alma mater Marist, even having been their assistant football coach in the mid-1990s.[4]
Charitable work[edit]
Joyce established the Tom Walsh Memorial Scholarship, named in honor of the deceased former Chicago police officer and former Chief of Courts for Cook County.[4]
Joyce has been a supporter of the Muscular Dystrophy Association.[4]
