Are you kidding me? Rev. Jesse Jackson (who was described in the Sun-Times article as a Democratic stalwart) has endorsed the Republican nominee for Cook County Sheriff, Peter Garza. He is running against Tom Dart who is currently chief of staff of the current sheriff Michael Sheehan. In Jackson's statement...
In a statement, Jackson pointed to Garza's accomplishments as an investigator in the state's attorney's office, including investigations that led to arrests of a child sex offender and three people for environmental crimes.Just right up in the election. If I recall correctly there was some grumbling about Tom Dart who just so happens to be a resident of the 19th Ward along with his boss Sheehan. Some black political players wanted to slate a black candidate for Sheriff but that wasn't to be and Dart got the nod. We'll see if this will get Garza elected.
