Chicago voters elected 62 people Tuesday to serve on the city’s first civilian police oversight councils, most of whom were supported by the National Alliance Against Racist & Political Repression.The councils are expected to hold meetings and get feedback from residents and others about policing and crime and bring those concerns back to the city and Chicago Police Department leadership.
The community commission will help select and remove heads of the police department, which will especially be important given police Superintendent David Brown announced his resignation Wednesday afternoon, following Mayor Lori Lightfoot’s election loss on Tuesday. The Town Hall District , which had six candidates running, had the most votes: 103,339. The Harrison District , which had three candidates running, had the fewest votes: 11,469.
Many of the districts had candidates who ran with support from the National Alliance Against Racist & Political Repression, said Frank Chapman, executive director and a field organizer for the Chicago branch. The alliance didn’t necessarily endorse candidates, he said, but helped many people exercise their democratic right by helping them set up their campaigns.
