Voters in Peoria s First District spoke loud and clear on their desire for a new representative around the horseshoe.
Former TV reporter Denise Jackson was the choice of 70% of the voters turning out on Tuesday, defeating incumbent councilwoman Denise Moore. It was by far the largest margin of victory for any Peoria municipal candidate.
Jackson said she s deeply humbled by that overwhelming support. People are concerned about what does or does not happen in the First District. They have shown me in more ways than one. So I m just grateful for that, Jackson said.
