Bill Conway previously worked as an assistant Cook County state’s attorney, served in the Navy and is an adjunct DePaul University professor. Conway, the son of a wealthy Washington insider, is looking to run the entire state’s attorney’s office. It’s his first time running for public office, and his campaign mainly has been funded by his father, William Conway, a billionaire co-founder of the private equity firm The Carlyle Group. Since joining the race, Bill Conway has criticized incumbent State’s Attorney Kim Foxx for her handling of the Jussie Smollett case and her connections to embattled Chicago Ald. Edward Burke.
