A reasoned endorsement of Foxx

The critics of the Sun-Times endorsement of Kim Foxx to be re-elected Cook County State’s Attorney exhibit a case of not seeing the forest for the trees. Her ground-breaking criminal justice accomplishments are many and significant. They vastly outweigh her mishandling of the Jussie Smollett case.

Clearly, her critics either have no idea of the progress Foxx has made fixing the county’s dysfunctional criminal justice system, or they don’t care. They are entitled to criticize her over the Smollett case and vote for a challenger if they reside in Cook County. But blasting the Sun-Times for a fact-based, reasoned endorsement does not reflect well on them being interested, knowledgeable voters.
