John —
My name is Jonathan Jackson, and I’m running for Congress to represent Illinois’ First District.
I’m no stranger to activism and no stranger to overcoming obstacles. My father, the Rev. Jesse Jackson, has spent his career fighting for social, economic and educational justice, and I grew up learning that giving back to the community was not an isolated action or event – it’s a part of our moral obligation to one another.
I have been fighting for working people my entire life. As a born-and-raised Chicago businessman, college professor, and activist, I have been on the forefront of the struggle for civil and human rights.
Now, I’m running to continue that work in the halls of Congress, where they need some help.
I’m honored to be on this journey with you, and I want to start by asking you to share your honest thoughts about the issues facing our families, and the change we need to make in Congress.
There is a time and a purpose and place for everything. And I do believe this is my time to step up and serve the people and help bring about change for our community.
But it’s not enough anymore for me to sit back and run my businesses and help individuals unilaterally and not address these issues on a larger scale. I must do more.
I’ve been fighting for working people my entire life. And I want to expand my efforts by becoming your next Congressman.
I’m running because the people of the First District are hurting. The people of the First District need help. I’m a proud son of Chicago. I love this city and its wonderful people – and I’m ready to fight for you.
If you’re with me, and you’re ready to lower the cost of childcare, increase the minimum wage, and make healthcare affordable and accessible for everyone –
then I want to hear from you.
Join me in this fight by sharing your thoughts about the challenges and opportunities we’re facing.
Thanks for being a part of this,
Jonathan
