Jesse Jackson Jr. served Illinois's Second Congressional District in Congress for 17 years. He had one of the top voting records in Congress 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.
