Jesse Jackson Jr. served Illinois's Second Congressional District in Congress for 17 years. He never missed a vote and delivered nearly one billion dollars in federal grants and appropriations to the District. He is running to return to Congress with a visionary economic plan to connect the District to the global economy. Retired U.S. Rep. Bobby Rush says “Jesse Jackson, Jr. is a strong and proven voice and a passionate advocate for the marginalized and the forgotten.” Rush says Jackson “is the most qualified and ready-made of all the candidates” to fight for democracy, equality and affordability. Jesse is the oldest son of civil rights leader, the Reverend Jesse Jackson, and is a lifelong fighter for social justice.
