Mayor-elect Brandon Johnson on Thursday revealed some of his top picks for his administration when he takes office next month.
Johnson named Rich Guidice, the executive director for Chicago's Office of Emergency Management and Communications, as his incoming chief of staff. He also selected Dr. Cristina Pacione-Zayas, a current state senator serving the 20th district, as his incoming first deputy chief of staff.
“It’s going to take all of us to build a better, stronger, safer Chicago, and I know the people of Chicago will be served well by Rich Guidice as my chief of staff and Dr. Cristina Pacione-Zayas as my deputy chief of staff,” Johnson said in a statement. “Both Rich and Cristina have shown dedication to making Chicago work for all of Chicago, and I know they will lead these positions with a sense of collaboration, compassion, and competence.
Guidice, who spent the last few years overseeing the city's emergency response efforts and 911 call center, said the selection is an"honor."
