In a news release, Weis said he will continue to be tough on crime and fight to protect victims and their families.

“People want a State’s Attorney who is tough but fair,” Weis said in the release. “I promise to continue to aggressively prosecute those criminals who prey on our residents. I will continue to work to keep Kendall County a great place to live and work. I am proud of the work we have done since I was elected and look forward to serving as your State’s Attorney for another four years.”
