Wake Up TriCounties Jackie McGowan 17th District Congressional Race

This week, Wake Up Tri-Counties are profiling Democrats in the 17th District Congressional Race. On Tuesday, we spoke with Jackie McGowan, a candidate who made her name as a lobbyist in the Cannabis industry. Born in Illinois, McGowan has worked on Wall Street, in the stock world in Chicago and California before transitioning into a lobbyist in the Cannabis industry. McGowan ran for Governor of California last September on a platform centered on Cannnabis. McGowan returned to Illinois following the California recall election and has now set her sights on the Congressional seat being vacated by Congresswoman Cheri Bustos.
