Kim Foxx, also known as Kimberly M. Foxx is a Chicago state attorney (district attorney) in Cook County, Illinois. She oversees the second-largest prosecutor’s office in the United States, with 700 attorneys and 1,100 employees. Kim gained the limelight and made it into the headlines of global media as her husband asked for police support at her home after Kim allegedly slapped him.
Early Life
Kim Foxx was born on April 4, 1972, in Chicago, Illinois, to parents who raised her in the Cabrini-Green Housing Project on Chicago’s Near North Side. Her primary caregivers were her mother and grandmother. Kim graduated from Lincoln Park High School and LaSalle Language Academy in Old Town in 1990. She enrolled at Southern Illinois University and earned a bachelor’s degree in political science. She also earned a J.D. from The Southern Illinois University School of Law.
Kim Foxx Career
Kim worked as an associate public guardian in the Cook County Public Guardian’s Office for three years after graduating from law school. She then spent 12 years as an Assistant State’s Attorney in Cook County, joining during the time of Richard A. Devine as State’s Attorney. In this capacity, she worked on child protection and juvenile criminal issues. She joined Cook County Board President Toni Preckwinkle’s administration as deputy chief of staff in 2013, working on criminal justice issues. She went on to become Preckwinkle’s chief of staff, a position she held until 2016. Foxx announced in September 2015 that she would run against incumbent Anita Alvarez for Cook County State’s Attorney in the 2016 election.
Her second opponent was Donna More, a former federal and state prosecutor. Foxx ran on a criminal justice reform platform, emphasizing policies such as diverting low-level offenders to treatment programs rather than jails, dealing more forcefully with police misconduct, and addressing false convictions. In the Democratic Party primary, she had three opponents: Bill Conway, Bob Fioretti, and Donna More. Foxx declared shortly after taking office in March 2017 that the State’s Attorney’s office would no longer pursue the detention of some detainees who could not pay the $1000 bond threshold. Despite criticism from the Illinois State Attorneys’ Association, Foxx testified in support of the proposed Bail Reform Act before the Illinois General Assembly.
Controversy
According to a police report released Friday, the husband of Cook County State’s Attorney Kim Foxx contacted authorities at the couple’s home in suburban Flossmoor last week, claiming the county’s top prosecutor hit him during an altercation. According to a Flossmoor Police report provided in response to a public records request by the Sun-Times, Foxx denied the claim, and no arrests were made in the incident, which occurred after her husband Kelley Foxx contacted 911 around 10 p.m. on the date of June 4 to report “a domestic with his wife.”
