CAMPAIGN ’88 : Dukakis Enlists Jackson for Radio Campaign
- Share via
Democratic presidential nominee Michael S. Dukakis, expanding his effort to court black voters, has signed up the Rev. Jesse Jackson for radio ads and named a prominent Jackson aide to his staff of advisers, campaign officials said Friday.
Jackson is scheduled to record the radio spots today, Dukakis campaign aide Donna Brazile said. He will join a growing list of prominent blacks who are part of a radio campaign that includes ads touting Dukakis, and others urging blacks to register to vote in the November election.
Also, Washington attorney Ronald Brown, a top political adviser to Jackson’s former presidential campaign, has agreed to join the Dukakis campaign as a national political adviser, Dukakis spokesman Leslie Dach said.
