Cheryle Robinson Jackson is on the road. The Illinois Senate candidate is planning a trip across the state to meet with supporters and get her message out to voters. With a February primary around the corner, Cheryle knows that she has to work now to build the resources and support she'll need to win.

And being on the road doesn't mean Cheryle gets a break between stops. She's also been doing a number of great interviews, including a nice piece in Kankakee's Daily Journal. Here's a quick excerpt:

The Daily Journal: Why did you decide to run for U.S. Senate?

Jackson: My curiosity was piqued when a group of women asked me to consider running. Then I was pleasantly surprised to find my name on President Obama's short list of six people he thought were qualified to replace him in the Senate.

We'll keep you posted as we hear more about Cheryle's trip.
