Reports CBC Chicago: “Former Congressman Jesse Jackson Jr.’s brother, Jonathan Jackson, said Tuesday he will not run for his brother’s vacant seat in the House of Representatives.
Jonathan Jackson – a Chicago State University professor, activist, and leader in his father’s Operation PUSH organization – broke the news to CBS 2 Chief Correspondent Jay Levine on Tuesday.
“It’s not for me, and certainly elected office is not for me at this time,” Jonathan Jackson said.












We are disappointed that Jonathan Jackson has decided not to run for his brother’s seat in the House of Representatives. Hopefully,they will get someone that will best serve the constituents of Rep.Jesse Jackson Jr…..On that note, Merry Xmas and Happy New Year to CBC and all the hardworking folks in our Congress…Be Safe!
