Cleveland Mayor Frank Jackson

Frank Jackson is running for a second term as mayor of Cleveland. When asked about his specific accomplishments that should earn him another term, Jackson said he "gets things done," that he has "reduced crime and identified all our neighborhoods." He is facing four challengers -- Robert Kilo, Bill Patmon, Kimberly Brown and Laverne Jones Gore -- who he'll face in the September 8th primary. Jackson has raised more than $500,000, far more than all of his challengers combined. He spoke with ideastream®'s Eric Wellman.
