Kim Foxx will not seek reelection in 2024 after serving two terms as Cook County State's Attorney, sources have told ABC7 Chicago.
After not charging Smollett with writing a false report to Chicago police officers, the case ended up in the hands of a special prosecutor, who said her office made "operational mistakes" when it dropped the charges.
A native of Chicago's Cabrini Green housing project, Foxx graduated from Lincoln Park High School and earned her law degree from Southern Illinois University. She is married and has four daughters. Her platform has been based on prosecuting violent crimes, not low-level offenses, and righting the wrongs of the war on drugs.With Foxx not seeking a third term, others are eyeing a run to replace her.
