Lightfoot ally is behind a campaign that is supporting challengers to the leadership of the Chicago Teachers Union – WBEZ (Chicago)

Lisa Schneider Fabes oversaw the Lightfoot administration’s transition into office in 2019 and was chief operating officer of the mayor’s election campaign. She resigned in 2019 from World Business Chicago, a public-private organization that is partly funded by the city to promote economic development, while under investigation by the city’s inspector general for getting paid for that job while “volunteering” in the mayor’s office and living in the suburbs.
