In an interview with Vote411.org, Jackson made the following statements:[8]
State budgets and fiscal policy
- Excerpt: "I support repealing some of Oklahoma’s recent income tax cuts for those at the very top of the scale. We also need to reevaluate some of the tax credits we give to corporations. I support David Boren’s one cent tax initiative as well. Money is there. We have to be diligent in finding it."
- Excerpt: "For 25 years, we have not had a complete review of our state tax policy. In that time span, the internet has emerged as a dominant force in purchasing options for our citizens and tax payers. We are missing out on millions of tax revenues by not properly collecting these tax dollars. Our municipalities are the only ones in the nation that rely solely on sales tax to fund their operations and core services for citizens. We need to put all taxes on the table and decide how Oklahoma will be fueled and prepared to succeed."
Education
- Excerpt: "I support State Superintendent Hofmeister’s plan on replacing high school EOI’s with ACT. Millions of dollars are wasted on testing. Also, we need to reevaluate tax credits to corporations. I believe in pay for public education first off the top of the budget. I will cross party lines and do whatever it takes to always put KidsFirst. Education is the cornerstone to our democracy. Education must be protected, supported, and valued at all costs regardless of party lines."
- Excerpt: "Politics shouldn’t be a game. Students have no party affiliation. I will listen and work with my constituents to vote on issues. I am their steward. I will change the narrative that public schools are failing. Public schools are not failing! As a state, we must make public education a priority and stop talking about it and do it. A business owner would not question why he or she is seeing a decline in business when failing to properly fund their enterprise."
Incarceration
- Excerpt: "A healthy Oklahoma economy starts with educating our future. By starting to properly fund education off the top of the budget, Oklahoman's will begin to see decreased incarceration and social dependency. Education is the foundation. We must track this effort for a full 13 years following a kindergarten student through high school. Example OK13, a statewide emphasis on raising the next generation for the benefit of Oklahoma. Every year show an increase in funding to Oklahoma public education, and watch the results benefit not only our students, but every citizen of the state."
