Richardson to meet with Jesse Jackson’s group

A day after participating in CNN’s Democratic presidential candidate debate on Sunday, Gov. Bill Richardson will head to another event that should earn him some attention.

He will be in Chicago on Monday morning to address the RainbowPUSH Coalition, led by Rev. Jesse Jackson. After the event, he’ll hold a news conference with Jackson, according to a news release from the Richardson campaign.

Maybe he’ll secure some high-profile endorsements in the black community to make up for the fact that Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, one of the most visible Hispanics in the nation, announced yesterday his endorsement of Hillary Clinton.

Richardson plans to spend Monday afternoon and evening fundraising in Phoenix.
