Former Chicago Public Schools CEO Janice Jackson said Friday she has no interest whatsoever in running for mayor, even though former U.S. Education Secretary Arne Duncan’s decision to take a pass has left the field wide open for potential challengers.
“Absolutely not. I do not want to be the mayor of Chicago. You can play that a million times. I have no interest in that job right now,” said Jackson, CEO of Hope Chicago, a non-profit created to fully fund post-secondary education for thousands of inner-city students.
