Justice Eileen O'Neill Burke said she wants to bring integrity to the office, and make sure violent criminals are kept behind bars.
Burke is a former assistant state's attorney and defense attorney who most recently served as an appellate court justice. She stepped down earlier this month to run for Cook County state's attorney.
Burke promises to bring a tough but balanced approach to the office, not letting the statewide elimination of cash bail in the fall be a deterrent to tackling violent crime. Clayton Harris III, a professor of public policy at the University of Chicago, has already announced he's running. As for the Jussie Smollett hoax attack case, in which Foxx's office came under fire for dropping charges, Burke was guarded with her criticism.
