Issues
Campaign themes
Jackson's website highlights the following campaign themes:[1]
Strengthening our Public Schools
- Excerpt:"No matter where you live, a quality education is the key to a better tomorrow. Our tax dollars should be spent wisely; although all areas were cut in this tough budget year, I voted to prevent such drastic cuts to public education."
Criminal Justice
- Excerpt:"As an attorney for the last 16 years and now as a legislator, I consider criminal justice one of the most important issues we face as a community. In the short time I have been in the General Assembly, I have worked to keep our communities safe, while making our criminal justice system responsive, equitable, and effective. "
Working Families
- Excerpt:"As your State House Representative, I will continue to work to enhance our long-term economic prospects. In order to do this, we must continue to strengthen our public schools, community colleges, and universities."
Local Issues
- Excerpt:"Because I live here in the district, work in the district, go to church here in the district, and am active in this district, I am dedicated to our community and to being an effective voice in the General Assembly on behalf of all residents of District 39. To that end, I have worked with the local town elected officials and managers on their requests for local legislation during my first term."

Campaign
Jackson disabled his campaign website five days before the election after being asked whether it violated ethics rules in the General Assembly.[5] At issue is whether it's permissible for a legislator to include his legislative contact information on campaign material like a campaign website.[6]
