Overview
- Glockner, who was nominated Monday, would replace Deborah Witzburg after her four-year term ended.
- The appointment needs City Council approval and, if confirmed, carries a four-year term with potential reappointment.
- At Exelon he led a broad compliance overhaul after the ComEd bribery scandal, rebuilding ethics and investigations at the parent of ComEd.
- Before that he served as a Chicago federal prosecutor for 24 years and later held senior roles at the SEC and at Citadel.
- Legal veterans praised the choice, with Patrick Fitzgerald and former IG Joe Ferguson calling Glockner independent, as the watchdog office investigates corruption, waste, and fraud.
