(Reuters) – Carole Rendon served in the U.S. Attorney’s office in Cleveland for eight years, as the first assistant prosecutor from 2009 to 2016 and as the U.S. attorney from July 2016 to March 2017. One of the highlights of her prosecutorial career was her leadership of an interdepartmental task force to confront the region’s heroin and opioid crisis.
