In a 50-year career, Richard Means became one of the top election lawyers in Illinois, committed to guiding local, state and national candidates onto the ballot and keeping them on the straight and narrow election-law path.
A lifelong Democrat, Mr. Means represented candidates for mayor, judge, alderman, state representative and senator from all parties, including Republican, Libertarian and Green.
He consulted with presidential candidates, including Ross Perot in 1992 and Joe Biden in 2008, regarding ballot access in Illinois. Mr. Means died in the coronavirus pandemic in 2021.
