Kim Foxx announces she will not seek re-election as Chicago prosecutor.

Cook County State's Attorney Kim Foxx's announcement that she will not seek re-election in 2024 has garnered mixed reactions from former prosecutors, lawmakers, and Illinois elected officials. While some praised Foxx's accomplishments, including overturning nearly 200 wrongful convictions and expunging more than 15,000 cannabis crimes, others criticized her tenure, with the head of Chicago's police union calling her a "disgrace" and blaming her for the rise in lawlessness. Foxx's eventual replacement will need to have experience in running the office correctly, with an eye for justice and accountability, according to former Chief of Staff and First Assistant State's Attorney of Cook County, Dan Kirk.
