Chris in the UIndy Reflector
The UIndy Reflector recently interviewed Chris about his candidacy for the City-County Council. Read an excerpt from the story below:
“My leadership skills, coupled with President Obama’s election make me believe I can do it,” senior Christopher Jackson said. “People really do believe in change.”
Despite his tender age of 21, Jackson is gearing up for a 2011 run for the City Council seat of District 22, which includes parts of Decatur, Perry and Wayne townships. The incumbent for this district, Bob Cockrum, is in his 60s and president of the council.
“There is a big difference between the incumbent and I,” Jackson said. “My youth will make me a different kind of candidate than in the past. It will be an asset as much as a hindrance.”
