In this Oct. 16, 2011 file photo, Rep. Jesse Jackson, Jr., D-Ill., is seen during the dedication of the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial in Washington. Jackson came to Congress already a rising star, with designs on higher office and one who sought to transcend the more polarizing figure cut by his father, the famous civil rights leader. But that careful cultivation has been damaged the last three years by allegations of corruption and embarrassing personal disclosures. Now, for the first time, he will face serious competition for his House seat. (AP Photo/Charles Dharapak, File)
