Jeff Jackson is the only voice I’ve heard in years that gives me hope that things can actually get better. He’s a shot of penicillin for people like me who have been infected with unending political despair.

What a great article from someone who can see both sides of the stage. This letter should appear as an op-ed column in outlets across the state.

Jeff, I am one of the silent middle who votes for people not parties. Even though you are not in my district, I really enjoy your updates. So much better than the Pro Trump rants I get from my congressperson. Keep them coming.

Manufacturing rage and fear is poison and is causing gun deaths in this country. Jeff, what can we citizens of NC do to move the needle to common sense gun control? I will be voting on three issues come November: Abortion, Guns, and Climate. We have a massacre a day now and it is because of the theatre of fury by the GOP in D.C.

Well, you have MY attention WITHOUT acting like an idiot. As a matter of fact, that rational demeanor you are presenting is precisely why I read your stuff. It's so refreshing to have a calm, clear voice to hear what's going on. I don't know if we could get it from somewhere else. Thanks for not succumbing to the circus.

Keep these communications coming, Jeff, and thanks for finding the time in what I'm sure is a ferocious schedule to put them together for us. They are greatly appreciated!

At 70, I have seen politicians fool many and serve few. I have seen honest politicians though that sounds like an oxymoron. I witnessed ones that think they are in a sprint to lie, cheat, manipulate and steal from the folks they alledgedly represent. The world seems to be on fire and the good guys are losing. So, Jeff, allow me to thank you for your honesty, integrity, kindness and desire to represent us honorably. You have certainly started out great. Covid was bad…Washington politicians are abnormally diseased with no apparent inoculation. Please keep up your good work. Kind thoughts sent your way.

Rep. Jackson,

Even though I’m not one of your constituents, I greatly appreciate your including me on your email mailing list so I can receive some truth from DC. My old Congressman was Rep. Hudson; after redistricting I’m now stuck with Rep. Bishop. Both of these individuals are die-hard Trump supporters who voted against certifying Joe Biden as President. I consider them both to be seditionists who, in my opinion (and I am a retired attorney who practiced public interest law for 35 years) should be barred from serving in Congress because of their actions.

I appreciate your keeping me informed with the “real deal”as to what’s going on in our Nation’s Capital.

Peace.
