Mayor Brandon Johnson Nominates David Glockner as Chicago Inspector General, Setting Stage for City Council Vote
Mayor Brandon Johnson has nominated David Glockner, a former high-ranking federal prosecutor, to serve as Chicago's next inspector general. Glockner, who has a long history of leading investigative units in both the private and public sectors, is set to replace former Inspector General Deborah Witzburg, whose term recently ended. The nomination requires confirmation by the City Council. Glockner's career includes significant roles such as the chief of the criminal division in the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Northern District of Illinois, where he handled cases involving financial fraud, public corruption, and cybercrime. He also served as the regional director of the Securities and Exchange Commission, overseeing investigations across nine states. Glockner's appointment comes after a selection process by a committee appointed by Mayor Johnson.
