    FTA~

    Jackson’s political committee also gave at least $298,927 in cash and in-kind contributions to Sandra Jackson’s campaign fund, which bankrolled her races for a city council seat that pays more than $100,000 per year and an unpaid position on the Cook County Democratic Committee.

    Sandra Jackson, known as Sandi, received the $95,000 for political consulting after pledging during her campaign to give “my full attention” to the alderman’s post.

      Jesse Jackson listed his wife’s firm on personal finance disclosures for 2001, 2002 and 2003, but didn’t mention her consulting work on filings for 2004, 2005, 2006 and 2007. Earlier this year, Jackson amended those reports, saying the Donatella firm was omitted by mistake.

        Just another crooked politician playing the shell game with campaign finances.

          By now everyone should realize that "campaign funds" are really just "slush funds" that politicians use for everything that pops up in their lives. After the money was given to them to use as they see fit, wasn't it? lmao

            For once I'm not going to slam you guys because JJ Jr. sounds like a nepotistic opportunist and JJ Sr. ought to be very proud that the apple didn't fall very far from the tree.
