Featured Members of Congress
On October 27, 2008 Jesse Jackson was featured on the homepage of OpenCongress:
Rep. Jesse Jackson (D-IL) is a potential candidate for Barack Obama's Senate seat that will be vacated if he wins the presidency. On Sunday, Jackson said, "If Senator Obama wins — and I'm optimistic that he will — I indeed would be honored and humbled to succeed him in the U.S. Senate. But, in the end, the decision rests with Gov. Blagojevich, and I'm confident that he'll make an appointment in the best interest of the state as well as the nation." Other candidates for the position include Rep. <a href="http://www.opencongress.org/people/show/400360_janice_schakowsky">Jan Schakowsky</a> (D-IL) and Illinois Department of Veterans Affairs director Tammy Duckworth.
