His father, Radisa Blagojevich, was an immigrant steel plant laborer from Serbia. Blagojevich spent much of his childhood working odd jobs to help the family pay its bills. He was a shoeshiner and pizza delivery boy before working at a meat packing plant.
In order to afford college, Blagojevich worked for the Trans-Alaskan Pipeline System as a dishwasher. Curiously, even in August he was America's least popular governor (in his own state), whereas Alaska's Sarah Palin was its most popular (in her own state).
His sister-in-law is Deb Mell, a gay rights activist who ran unopposed for the state house in 2008.
