I appreciate your update. You write very well! It’s like you are talking to me, it’s really nice. Thank you for serving our state in our nation’s capital. I’ll look forward to hearing how things are there from you😊
A bit frightening to have the House run by a self serving hack controlled by a bunch of MAGA idiots. Here’s hoping you guys get some moderate Republicans to cross the isle and keep the country on an even keel.
I am no sure how I am getting these posts in my email. I am not a registered Democrat and while I am in NC I am not in your district. Over the last few years I have unsubscribed from every political message I used to receive. I have always considered myself a political nerd but have found the last 6 years mentally taxing. For the most part I don't even watch the news anymore but found myself fixated on this weeks vote.
After reading this post I have decided to not unsubscribe from your list. I found your post uplifting and not polarizing. Your last photo of your son saluting Lincoln actually brought a tear to my eye and reminded me of JFK Jr. saluting President Kennedy's casket. I hope you can bring some consensus to DC because a house divided can not stand.
It's such a shame that McCarthy wasn''t willing to entertain reaching cross the aisle for those votes instead of selling his soul and the soul of our country. What a refreshing thing that might have been.
Representative Jackson, Thank you for your unique, candid, and informative updates. I’m from Massachusetts, so not one of your local constituents. But I am a concerned American citizen, and I greatly appreciate what you are doing here and the opportunity to learn from it.
Congratulations on being a newly elected member of Congress! Now more than ever we need leaders with integrity, who truly care about the good of our country, and will put that above their own political ambitions. I look forward to learning more from your posts, and I wish you all the best going forward. May you find all the strength , stamina, wisdom and courage you will need to help fortify and support our Democracy and get something positive done in the months ahead.
Congratulations, Rep. Jackson. I admired you as a North Carolina senator in the Legislature, and I'm looking forward to your participation as a member of the US House of Representatives.
Glad you made it to Congress, Mr. Jackson. Wish it had been in that Senate seat instead, but who knows what the future brings. Meanwhile, thanks for these candid and informative missives. One thing that would be great to know is the most effective way for constituents to communicate with their representatives. Email? Phone? Snail-mail? What will actually get noticed?
Thank you for keeping the citizens of NC informed. I’m not in your district, but greatly appreciate the updates of what’s “really” happening in DC. Thank you again and stay strong! We’re lifting you up!!😊
It is a shame that your family did not get to see you sworn into office. Sounds like a grueling, somewhat boring 4 days. Looks like the far right will be running things for the next couple of years. It is a shame that McCarthy would not reach across the aisle to ensure some sanity in the house. It appears that he will be a puppet for the far right and will have very little influence or control.
Thanks for the update. I hope you will be able to keep doing this.

Watched many of the votes, and every time the clerk called, "Jackson of North Carolina", I cheered. Honored to have you represent me in Congress.

Well done. Best coverage I've read thus far--including the
WSJ and the NYT. Thank you.
Deeply appreciated. And... OOH-RAH, OWEN!

I'm glad I subscribed to your updates. I enjoyed reading your comments on election of a speaker.

The majority voice of the people has been negated by the two concessions. I for one, resent this deeply.

I appreciate a sane voice from NC in DC
This is great. It’s wonderful having this insight from the inside. Best wishes to you and your family in your service to our nation.
