According to a press release sent to Booker Rising. You may recall that Mr. Jackson unsuccessfully sought the Republican nomination for the U.S. Senate against George Allen: "Because of his run for U.S. Senate, Jackson will start out as the only candidate in the Lt. Governor race who already has a statewide following."
More from the conservative Republican: "Says Jackson, 'This is no time to withdraw. Constitutional conservatism is right for Virginia and right for all Americans, whether white, black, Hispanic, Filipino, Asian, Native American, male or female. I intend to take my message to every Virginian, regardless of background. We all share the vision of 'one nation under God, indivisible with liberty and justice for all.' And we must all come together for the good of our Commonwealth and our country.'"
