Jonathan Jackson, son of the Rev. Jesse Jackson, on Friday afternoon announced a run for the seat being vacated by Rep. Bobby Rush, becoming at least the 13th candidate so far in the Democratic primary in the 1st Congressional District.
Jackson launches his congressional bid with a running start provided by his father, a civil rights leader, two-time presidential candidate and founder of Rainbow PUSH Coalition. The younger Jackson is familiar with his father’s extensive national fundraising and political network.

Not sure that the Rev is going to be much of a help.

I'm sitting here trying not to spill my coffee, as I read this article.
I can't decide which is funnier -
1. The tortured shapes of those congressional districts, to serve up a black face in Congress
2. The chutzpah of the Jackson family. fromthe Rev to the brother and sister in law in prison
3. Wondering if this is a b*stard child of Jesse - the one whose mommy was Jesse's mistress
4. fascinated by the new candidate's business operation, which appears to exist as a set-aside minority contractor
5. Wondering if the Jackson sons still have the exclusive Budweiser franchise for Chicago
6. And best of all, remembering how the Rev, counseling Dollar Bill Clinton after the Monica thing, with Jackson's pregnant mistress in tow at the White House.
Today will be a good day.

He'll very probably end up in prison, like his older brother and where his asshat criminal father should be!

Just joining the family shakedown business. He will fit in well in Hunter and Joe’s America. Sadly.

Son of a criminal fake man of God who has been nothing but a race baiter and street agitator for decades. Those are some credentials - the democrats will jump all over that.

FYI, Jackson is 56 years old, so no, he is not the son of his father's mistress.

Just what this country doesn't need. The son of a race hustler in government.

Illinois lost one Congressional Seat from the 2020 Census. After redrawing the maps: Republicans LOSE 2 seats and Democrats pick up 2 seats. The districts are so radically Gerrymandered, I've never seen anything like it. They create a R+46 and R+42 districts that span the state. They sponge up every Republican voter into three throw away districts so Democrats can win all the rest. A three judge panel let this stand. Impossible to know who those three judges were, in our current Democracy. How do we take back the house when they pick up seats through fraud? Who do you think appointed the bobble headed judges on this one? Who believes we can vote our way out of this mess? Democrats won't have it.

Bizarro world, banana republic, style over substance. He'll be celebrating victory, with expensive whiskey, his wife dressed in mink, and a limousine waiting or him so he can leave the victory celebration, not wanting to rub elbows with the little people. Just like Daddy.
