Robert Jackson Biography

Robert Jackson is one of the most popular and richest Politician who was born on December 18, 1950 in New York City, New York City, United States. Robert Jackson (born December 18, 1950) is an American politician in New York City. A member of the Democratic Party, he is the Senator for the New York State Senate’s 31st District on the West Side of Manhattan. He previously served in the New York City Council from 2002 to 2013, representing the 7th District in Manhattan. He is the first Muslim New York State Senator.

On June 26, 2003, the New York State Court of Appeals (the state’s highest court) ruled in favor of plaintiffs, and gave the State until July 30, 2004 to implement changes. However, lawmakers could not agree on a formula. The Court of Appeals appointed a special panel to address the problem, and in 2005, the panel proposed that NY City schools receive an extra $5.6 billion per year. Justice Leland DeGrasse accepted that solution, and in 2007, the Legislature established the Foundation Aid Formula to distribute the requisite funds, phased in over a period of four years. Because of the subsequent fiscal crisis, funding was frozen during 2009-2012. Full funding has yet to be restored, a situation Jackson protested both in Albany and New York City.

On February 1, 2013 a Democratic mayoral forum was held in Washington Heights. Elected officials repeatedly neglected to acknowledge City Councilman Robert Jackson, who represented the area. Finally, when black mayoral candidate Bill Thompson greeted State Senator A. Espaillat, Assemblywoman G. Rosa, and Councilman Y. Rodriguez, Mr. Jackson called out, “I’m not part of the Northern Manhattan team? … Can you see? Hello? Am I black enough for you, brother?” Thompson responded that he had no intention of ignoring Jackson, and referred to him as a “hero” for his fight for NY City schools.

Jackson announced in late January 2013 that he was running in the Democratic Primary for Manhattan Borough President. Jackson highlighted the Campaign for Fiscal Equity as a significant accomplishment in at least five campaigns since he initially ran, and won a seat on, the New York City Council in 2001, and his literature stated Jackson “brought home billions of additional dollars each year to improve our public schools,” though the Campaign for Fiscal Equity was called a failure by the Village Voice.

Robert Jackson was elected to the New York City Council’s 7th district in 2001 as a Democrat. Before it was redistricted in 2013, the district included portions of the neighborhoods Harlem, Washington Heights and Inwood. He served parts of his three terms as Education Committee Chair and Co-Chair of the Black, Latino and Asian Caucus with Council Member Fernando Cabrera. Jackson was twice re-elected before being term-limited in 2013.

Robert Jackson was born in Harlem, the son of Zelma Jackson and Chinese immigrant Eddie Chu. He grew up in Manhattan and The Bronx, attending P.S.86 in Washington Heights, and P.S. 146, Junior High School 120, and Benjamin Franklin High School in The Bronx. As a child, he sold newspapers. Jackson graduated from the State University of New York at New Paltz in 1975. After college, he worked for the New York State Department of Labor and the Public Employees Federation, a labor union. In 1986, he was elected to New York City Community School Board 6.

In 1992, Jackson was serving as the elected president of Community School Board 6. He sued the state, frustrated and accusing the state of under-funding New York City public schools. Jackson sought assistance from the school board’s attorney, Michael A. Rebell; they founded the Campaign for Fiscal Equity, and in 1993 filed suit in CFE v. State of New York. The lawsuit argued that the State of New York’s method of allocating funds for public education did not provide adequately for children in New York City, and therefore violated the New York State Constitution and the federal Civil Rights Act.

In February 2013 Jackson, and his wife Faika Jackson, sued Fairway Market and New York City. The Jacksons claimed Faika tripped over a downed stop sign in front of the Harlem location of the market in April 2010. In July 2014, Manhattan Supreme Court Judge Margaret Chan admonished the Jacksons for “non- compliance with Fairway’s repeated discovery demands,” saying they had failed to provide medical records related to Faika’s stop sign tumble. Jackson also joined his wife’s lawsuit as a co-plaintiff, writing that his wife’s injuries prevented her from providing “services, society and companionship.”
