Sandi Jackson Runs for Re-Election as Alderman, Not City Clerk
(Chicago Tribune) — After considering a run for city clerk, Chicago Ald. Sandi Jackson instead will try to retain her 7th Ward seat on the City Council. Jackson withdrew from the clerk’s contest Tuesday, the last day to decide and the last day for challenges to try to knock candidates off the ballot. In the highest-profile challenge, two supporters of Rahm Emanuel — Ald. Pat O’Connor, 40th, and outgoing Ald. Mary Ann Smith, 48th — challenged Rob Halpin’s mayoral candidacy. Halpin is the industrial developer who declined to end his lease of Emanuel’s North Side home when the former White House chief of staff returned to run for mayor.
