Chicago’s new mayor, Lori Lightfoot, hasn’t even been sworn in yet, and she already has a top priority: figuring out exactly what is going on in Cook County Prosecutor Kim Foxx’s office.
Lightfoot, who won Chicago’s mayoral election by a near-50 point margin on Tuesday, is the city’s first black female (and first openly gay) mayor. She campaigned largely as an outsider to the Chicago machine. Lightfoot is, herself, a former Assistant U.S. Attorney, who served at the head of Chicago’s Police Board and Police Accountability Board after leaving legal practice for public service.
