Sandi Jackson, wife of Jesse Jackson Jr., will not run for his Congress seat
Democratic officials in Cook County – including Sandi Jackson, other aldermen and township officials – plan to hold an endorsement session this weekend. Cook County makes up most of the 2nd Congressional District. Party officials have said they intend to back one candidate.
Sandi Jackson said she doesn’t know which candidate she’ll support.
She said her husband is staying at their Washington home with their two children. The couple also has a home in Chicago. She said she’s not sure yet if they’ll move back to Chicago full time.
“I haven’t made a decision about what I’m going to do,” she said. “What I’m doing right now is concentrating on delivering the best city services possible to the ward. When that decision is made I’ll be sure to let you know.”
