Illinois Representative has not been seen in Congress since early June. On June 25th, Jackson’s office released a statement saying the congressman had been on a medical leave of absence “due to exhaustion” since June 10th. Nothing more was said about the congressman’s health until July 5th, when Jackson’s staff announced that the congressman was at an inpatient medical facility and that his “condition was more serious than originally assumed.” Friends and colleagues say Jackson was being treated at a facility in Arizona.
