Amsterdam News Endorses Jackson
September 8, 2005
Robert Jackson has created an enviable record during his first term as councilman in District Seven. He has raised money for non-profit housing and has worked religiously with housing groups from the community who wish to restore or encourage home purchasing for middle and low-income families. He is a housing preservationist and advocate of restorable housing stock. His work in the council make his background in law a valuable asset to his constituents. We urge his re-election to the City Council in District seven. (Amsterdam News)
