Berg: Confrontation with campaign worker was racial, not political

MILL CREEK — A Black campaign worker for state Rep. April Berg was verbally accosted while trying to canvass a Snohomish County neighborhood Saturday, a confrontation the lawmaker said was motivated by race.

Julian Jackson, field director for Berg’s re-election campaign, got out of his car and was walking toward a house when a man bicycled up to him and demanded he leave the neighborhood near Mill Creek.

The verbal confrontation lasted roughly five minutes, most of which Jackson videotaped on his phone.

There’s no doubt in Berg’s mind the motive was racial, not political. Jackson, 21, is Black. The man was white.
