Team Warren joins Team Foxx, Sen. Warren announces endorsement of Cook County State’s Attorney Kim Foxx for re-election    

Chicago - Cook County State’s Attorney Kim Foxx earned her first endorsement from a democratic presidential candidate. Sen. Elizabeth Warren announced the endorsement on Tuesday nodding to State’s Attorney Kim Foxx’s national leadership on criminal justice reform. While the rest of the country shied away from discussing equitable justice, State’s Attorney Kim Foxx courageously campaigned on the topic four years ago. Now, criminal justice reform is an issue presidential candidates discuss at length on the campaign trail and national debate stage. 

“When Cook County first elected Kim Foxx to the State Attorney’s office, it not only gained a seasoned advocate but a champion invested in rethinking the county’s approach to criminal justice reform,” said Sen. Warren. “Kim is an effective public servant who leads with compassion, and I’m confident that when reelected, Kim Foxx will continue to bring those qualities to the office.” 

“I am honored to have the support of Senator Elizabeth Warren who has dedicated her career to America’s working families. We know our working communities stand to lose the most when exposed to a broken criminal justice system. Our reform on bond, conviction integrity and cannabis have undoubtedly helped bring more equitable justice to these communities,” said State’s Attorney Foxx. “Having Sen. Warren’s endorsement is a testament to the work we’ve only just started here in Cook County.”

This endorsement follows other major announcements from the Friends for Foxx campaign. Just days earlier the campaign rolled out a long list of Latinx Cook County elected officials who also endorsed State’s Attorney Foxx. On Monday, the campaign also released its second television ad.
