Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. is putting his Washington D.C. home up for sale, citing the cost of his depression treatment as the reason.

“Like millions of Americans, Congressman Jackson and Mrs. Jackson are grappling with soaring healthcare costs and are selling their residence to help defray costs of their obligations,” said Rick Bryant, Jackson’s chief of staff. “The congressman would like to personally thank everyone who has offered prayers on behalf of his family.”

Jackson’s four bedroom home is on the market for $2.5 million dollars. 

Rick Bryant confirmed on September 7th that Jackson was back at home with  his wife and children after being treated for depression at the  Mayo Clinic.

“He’s at home in Washington convalescing with his wife and children,” Bryant said. “Let’s hope he returns to work on Monday.”
