Foxx announced in September 2015 that she would be running against incumbent Anita Alvarez for the Cook County State Attorney in the 2016 election. Her second opponent was Donna More, a former federal and state prosecutor. Foxx was active on a criminal justice reform platform, focusing on policies such as redirecting low-level offenders to treatment programs instead of prisons, taking stronger action against police misconduct, and tackling false convictions. She had three opponents in the Democratic Party primaries: Bill Conway, Bob Fioretti and Donna More. Foxx stated shortly after taking office in March 2017 that the prosecution would no longer continue to detain some detainees who failed to pay the $1,000 bail. Despite criticism from the Illinois State Attorneys’ Association, Foxx testified before the Illinois General Assembly in support of the proposed Bail Reform Act.
