Ohio
Running for: State Senator, District 24
which includes parts of Cuyahoga County
After moving to Salon, Ohio, for a job in 1999, Tom Jackson and his wife stayed in the area because of the community. Their son and daughter benefitted from an excellent public education. Tom is unwilling to strip funding from Orange City Schools. As a state senator, Tom will use his experiences at the Close-Up Foundation and as a consistent community leader to deliver for the 24th district.
Priorities:
Invest in human capital through education; curb gun violence by implementing common-sense legislation that still protects the right to own a gun; stand up for reproductive rights.
