William “Cold Cash” Jefferson is actually going to run again.
Democratic Rep. William Jefferson, who faces bribery charges over $90,000 found in his freezer, said on Tuesday that he plans to seek re-election.
"I will run for re-election to the U.S. House of Representatives this fall," Jefferson, who has pleaded not guilty, said in a statement.
"The fact that I am the target of an overly zealous prosecution has not prevented my delivering for our district and our state," Jefferson said in his statement.
I have a question. Is it even possible to be overly zealous prosecuting someone with $90,000 in cash in his freezer??
The truly scary part of this story is that he’ll probably be reelected. The only way he’ll be defeated is if another democrat runs against him.
