After being blasted by his main rivals for ignoring the law, 1st District House Democratic congressional candidate Jonathan Jackson — whose disclosure finally was made public Thursday, just before the Tuesday election — said he made a “mistake.”
Jackson spoke at a news conference at his campaign headquarters, 8658 S. Cottage Grove Ave., called in the face of two controversies surfacing days before the primary: finally filing — but only under pressure — his statement detailing income, assets and liabilities — and the emergence of more than $1 million in independent expenditure spending by three crypto currency industry PACS to bolster Jackson’s bid.
