Jussie Smollett Prosecutor Kim Foxx Wins Democrat Primary By Catherine Smith
Attorney Kim Foxx declared victory after the Democratic primary for Illinois’ Cook County state’s attorney race on Tuesday, beating several other challengers who had focused on the controversy surrounding her handling of the Jussie Smollett case, according to Fox News.
Last year, Foxx, widely known as a criminal justice reformer, came under heavy criticism and the ire of local police for choosing to drop charges against Smollett, who was accused of staging a racist and homophobic hate attack against himself in Chicago.
“This win is about all of us. I’ve spent the last four years working to reform a system that is not representative of the communities it serves – I’m ready to continue this work,” Foxx said.
