Mayor Lori Lightfoot on Wednesday reiterated her “total confidence” in Chicago Police Supt. David Brown and said, given the “remarkable” progress Brown has made, it is “astounding” her latest mayoral challenger, Ald. Sophia King (4th), would target him for firing.
King, chairman of the City Council’s Progressive Caucus, told the Sun-Times Tuesday that violent crime is the “No. 1, No. 2 and No. 3” issue with Chicago voters.
