Jesse Jackson Jr. Write-In Opponent: Campaign or Resign

Resident Anthony Williams says Jackson was an absent Congressman even before going on health leave in June

An opponent of U.S. Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. in this fall's election called for the congressman's resignation on Monday, saying Jackson is unfit to serve the district.

Anthony W. Williams, a write-in candidate of the 2nd Congressional District, complained Jackson is out of touch and outright absent from the district — an absence, he argued, that began well before his June 10 health leave.
