TRANSPARENCY

Transparency in public office is critical to build trust and confidence between residents and their government. Given the crucial role of the States Attorney's Office, providing the public with a clear understanding of how government authority is used takes on heightened importance.

Would transparency be an important value for your office? 

CONWAY: 

Yes
The States Attorney's Office needs to be a beacon of public trust if people are going to believe in the system. As a special prosecutor found, the current States Attorney consistently did not tell the truth in the Smollett investigation (most notably that his case was not handled like any other case which is clearly false). We can not have real Criminal Justice Reform with out integrity and transparency from the States Attorney's Office.

FIORETTI:

Yes
In sharp contrast to the current Administration, I would be transparent in all aspects of my office, not only where it makes the office look good. The Jussie Smollett case is the primary example but not the only one. The State’s Attorney lied about her recusal, and secretly tried to treat a celebrity differently than others.

FOXX: 

Yes
Upon taking office, we have worked to become the most transparent prosecutor’s office in the country and the first to provide the citizens we serve online access to every felony case dating back to 2011. It is extremely important in our work that the public feels as though they can trust those who are charged with serving them.
