Emanuel appoints Andrea Zopp to police board
Mayor Rahm Emanuel has appointed World Business Chicago CEO and former deputy mayor Andrea Zopp to the Chicago Police Board. Zopp also served as a prosecutor, ran the Chicago Urban League, and ran in the Democratic primary for Senate in 2016. “If anyone doubts Andy’s ability to call balls and strikes, you don’t have to look any further than her record,” Emanuel spokesman Adam Collins said. “She has protected victims of domestic violence. She has prosecuted murderers. She has prosecuted a congressman, federally, and she has prosecuted a police officer.” [Tribune]
