(Chicago, IL) — A state lawmaker from Chicago is taking over as the interim director of the Democratic Party of Illinois. State Representative Christian Mitchell is replacing Timothy Mapes, who was dropped by House Speaker Michael Madigan last month after House staffer Sherri Garrett accused him of harassment and bullying. Mitchell is the first African-American to head the DPI. He has been a member of the legislature since 2013 and lives on the South Side.
