The Ryan Record

As the popular and innovative two-term Attorney General in Illinois from 1995-2002, Jim Ryan was a strong advocate for battered women, abused children and crime victims. He was credited with a thorough professionalization of the office, which he undertook by immediately closing a dozen offices filled with political patronage hires and replaced them with crime fighting prosecutors. After only one term, the state Capitol based State Journal-Register described him as already one of the finest Attorneys General in state history.
