Former Chicago Inspector General Deborah Witzburg Joins Illinois Attorney General's Office as Chief of Staff
Deborah Witzburg, the former Inspector General of Chicago, has been appointed as the Chief of Staff for Illinois Attorney General Kwame Raoul. This transition occurs shortly after her tenure as Chicago's top watchdog concluded. Witzburg is recognized for her high-profile investigations and her contentious relationship with Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson. Her appointment to Raoul's office is seen as a strategic move, leveraging her experience in public service and legal expertise. Witzburg's tenure as Inspector General was marked by significant investigations, including a report recommending the dismissal of Mayor Johnson's top adviser, Jason Lee, for non-cooperation in an investigation. Her outspoken approach often put her at odds with the mayor's administration, leading to her decision not to seek a second term. Witzburg's new role in the Attorney General's office is expected to focus on enhancing efficiency and integrity within the state's legal framework.
