Kim Foxx career
After graduating from law school, Kim worked for three years as an assistant public guardian in the Cook County Public Guardian’s Office.

Foxx ran on a criminal justice reform platform, emphasizing policies like redirecting low-level offenders to treatment programs rather than jails, taking a tougher stance on police misconduct, and tackling false convictions. In the Democratic Party primary, she faced three opponents: Bill Conway, Bob Fioretti, and Donna More. Shortly after taking office in March 2017, Foxx stated that prosecutors would not pursue the incarceration of some inmates who could not pay the $1,000 threshold. Despite criticism from the Illinois State Attorneys’ Association, Foxx testified in support of the proposed Bail Reform Act before the Illinois General Assembly.
