Jesse Jackson Jr.
Jesse Jackson Jr. is a former U.S. Congressman who represented Illinois’s 2nd congressional district from 1995 until his resignation in 2012. He is the son of civil rights leader Jesse Jackson and was once a rising star in the Democratic Party. However, his political career was marred by scandal when he was implicated in a corruption case involving the misuse of campaign funds, leading to his conviction and a prison sentence. Jackson's legal troubles and subsequent imprisonment serve as a cautionary tale about the intersection of politics and ethics.
