Kenilworth's Anita Breckenridge to oversee Obama post-presidency

Kenilworth native Anita Decker Breckenridge, a White House deputy chief of staff who has known President Barack Obama since he was an Illinois state senator, will be his chief of staff when he becomes a private citizen on Jan. 20.

Breckenridge, 38, a graduate of the New Trier High School class of 1996, has also been leading the transition process - from making sure the Obama White House has been archived and packed up to working with President-elect Donald Trump's team.
