Joan talks to Rep. Jonathan Jackson, who has represented the 1st District of Illinois since 2023, when he replaced retiring Congressman Bobby Rush. On November 5th, Jackson won 63 percent of the vote in his bid for reelection and will now serve a second term as a member of the House Democratic minority, after Republicans narrowly held the House majority. In the interview, Jackson extended his congratulations to President-elect Donald Trump but told WCPT that House Democrats “will be the loyal opposition” and not “concede one inch.”
