- Summary
- Politician Jerry Washington was born on December 23, 1940 in Merrigold, Mississippi. Washington attended Chicago's Wilson Junior College and Northwestern University. During the early 1960s, Washington became involved with the Young Republicans Organization, primarily because his father was a Republican precinct captain. He ran for elective office in 1972, but was unsuccessful. In 1984, Washington was elected to represent the 24th District in the Illinois General Assembly. In that role, Washington served as a member of the House Committees on Appropriation, Election, Revenue and others. He was also a member of the 84th General Assembly Special Education Task Force. During his term in office, Washington was the recipient of several awards and commendations. Washington was one of the few Republicans in the Legislative Black Caucus, often working with and supporting his black Democratic counterparts. Washington served as an Illinois State representative between 1985 and 1987.
