via Chicago Sun-Times
“The Rev. Jesse Jackson on Sunday endorsed former Chicago Urban League President Andrea Zopp in her bid to win the Democratic primary for U.S. Senate.
Zopp will face U.S. Rep. Tammy Duckworth and state Sen. Napoleon Harris in a primary election March 15. The winner is expected to face Sen. Mark Kirk in the general election Nov. 8.
‘I’ve known Andrea Zopp for 30 years. I support her unequivocally,’ Jackson said during a news conference at Zopp’s campaign headquarters in Bronzeville. ‘She has worked on curbing easy access to guns, and supports a call for urban reconstruction. She knows first-hand we don’t just need better policing; we need better police accountability.'”
