Calculation Methodology

Contract values are summed from documented money flow chains where this entity appears as a source or destination node. Amounts are drawn from USASpending.gov, FEC filings, SEC EDGAR, or LD-2 lobbying registrations.

Donor contributions aggregate documented amounts from the donor_interests table, sourced from FEC individual and PAC contribution filings.

Connected officials are elected officials in our database with a mapped relationship (lobbying, board membership, campaign contribution, etc.) to this entity.

Annualised flow represents the total documented dollar amount traced through money flow hops involving this entity. Where hop-level amounts are unavailable, the chain-level documented total is used as a conservative upper bound.

All figures are drawn from public filings. Estimates are conservative — undisclosed transactions, dark money, and vanish-point hops are excluded from totals. This is a minimum documented floor, not a ceiling.

✓ verified Pending Review [constituency_baseline] District summary: Illinois's 1st Congressional District covers much of Chicago's South Side and extends southwest into Will County, including parts of Joliet. It is a majority-minority seat: 47.8% Black, 38.1% White, 10.5% Hispanic. The district has a D+32 partisan lean making it one of the safest Democratic seats in the country. Once represented by Rep. Bobby Rush for 30 years, it was won by Jackson in 2022. The district has deep civil-rights roots — Jackson is the son of Rev. Jesse Jackson — and it includes both the urban core of the South Side and more suburban/exurban communities to the southwest. Economic indicators reflect urban challenges: a $71,465 median household income (above national median but below many suburban districts), 11.5% poverty, 10% unemployment rate, 62.5% homeownership, and just 32.3% holding a bachelor's degree. Approximately 135,000 immigrants reside in the district, including 27,000 DACA/TPS holders. Key issues include workforce development and food security.
Added: 02 May 2026
✓ verified Partially Corroborated Voted nay_unverified on H.R. 12 (Laken Riley Act (mandatory ICE detention for undocumented immigrants charged with certain property crimes)) on 2025-01-22: Jackson voted against final passage of a bill that passed 263-156 with bipartisan support (including 48 Democratic defections). He denounced the bill as 'part of a coordinated effort by Speaker Mike Johnson and the Extreme MAGA faction to demonize immigrants and weaponize the government to carry out mass deportations.' IL-01 is home to over 135,000 immigrants, approximately 27,000 DACA recipients and TPS holders who contribute more than $600 million annually to the local economy. Donor pressure from moderate/centrist groups favored passage; Jackson's vote aligned squarely with his district's demographic character.
Date: 2025-01-22 Added: 02 May 2026 ↗ RECORDS: Roll call: H.R. 12
✓ verified Pending Review Voted yea_unverified on H.R. 4763 (Financial Innovation and Technology for the 21st Century Act (FIT21 — crypto market structure bill)) on 2024-05-22: Jackson voted to create a light-touch regulatory framework for digital assets favored by the crypto industry — an industry that spent over $1 million in outside money to elect him in 2022 via the now-defunct Protect Our Future PAC. His district (IL-01, South Side Chicago) has a $71,465 median income and 11.5% poverty rate; crypto-friendly deregulation offers little direct benefit to constituents struggling with food security and workforce development — the issues Jackson's own campaign materials prioritize.
Date: 2024-05-22 Added: 02 May 2026
✓ verified AI Inference Voted nay_unverified on H.R. 8034 (Israel Security Supplemental Appropriations Act, 2024 ($26.38 billion aid package for Israel and Gaza humanitarian relief)) on 2024-04-20: Jackson was one of only 37 House Democrats to oppose the Israel aid package (366-58 overall). As one of the most pro-Palestinian members of the Illinois delegation, he explained: 'Sending more weapons to the Netanyahu government will make the U.S. even more responsible for atrocities and the horrific humanitarian crisis in Gaza.' This broke with 82% of his party and contrasted sharply with AIPAC-aligned donors who back pro-Israel incumbents.
Date: 2024-04-20 Added: 02 May 2026
✓ verified Primary Source [disclosure] According to an OpenSecrets analysis reported by CBS12, Jonathan Jackson 'received more than 98% of his campaign funds from outside his district' — one of the highest out-of-district funding rates in Congress.
✓ verified Primary Source [platform] Jackson, in a 2022 campaign statement, said: 'I love the South Side of Chicago, and I promise to be the fighter you have always known me to be. Jonathan is running to create jobs in Illinois, increase workforce skills, and build family economic security.'

✓ verified Partially Corroborated Jackson violated the STOCK Act for the second time in August 2025, failing to disclose 31 stock trades made by his wife within the required 45-day window. He was previously cited in 2023 for late disclosure of up to $300,000 in stock transactions from a joint trust.
✓ verified Partially Corroborated Jackson serves on the House Foreign Affairs Committee and the House Agriculture Committee, and is a member of the Subcommittee on Digital Assets, Financial Technology, and Artificial Intelligence (under Financial Services) and the Subcommittee on Commodity Markets, Digital Assets, and Rural Development.
✓ verified Partially Corroborated In the 2022 Democratic primary, crypto-backed Super PACs — including Protect Our Future, funded by FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried — spent $1,041,899 in outside money supporting Jackson's campaign, more than double his own committee's fundraising at the time.
