Chicago Ald. Sandi Jackson, the wife of Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. (D-IL), told an ABC affiliate in an interview Tuesday that her husband will be on the ballot in November, despite the health issues he has had to deal with this summer.

“He’s on the ballot and he’s going to stay on the ballot,” Sandi Jackson told WLS-TV in Chicago. “We are not making any changes, no new moves. Everything is very much dependent on his doctors’ decision.”

The congressman has been on medical leave since June 10, and has spent time this summer being treated in Arizona and Minnesota for bipolar disorder.
