Kimberly Foxx

As Cook County State’s Attorney, Kim has undertaken substantial criminal justice reforms focused on public safety and equity. She has revamped the office’s Conviction Integrity Unit, resulting in overturned convictions in nearly 250 cases, including the first-ever mass exoneration in Cook County for 15 men whose convictions stemmed from misconduct by a Chicago Police Officer. Kim played a pivotal role in the crafting of the 2020 Cannabis Regulation and Tax Act and has been a leader in bond reform. With the goal of making Cook County the most transparent prosecutor’s office in the country, in 2018, Kim became the first and only prosecutor in the country to make felony case-level data available to the public.
