Mike Jackson for Congress
Texas State Senate representative Mike Jackson has chosen to run for United States Congress, rather than to seek re-election in his home state.
As a republican, he wants to join Congress to help combat the Obama administration policies he believes are damaging to the economy.
Mike's Stance on the Issues
As a prominent force in the Texas construction industry for many years because of the family business, Force Corporation, Mike knows the importance of having a stable economy and making jobs available to his constituents. His business sense is just what Congress needs to get the national economy rolling again. He believes in order to foster economic growth, we need to make sure the federal government is less involved in small businesses. He also believes we need to say no to more spending that will increase the national debt, because this does nothing but threaten the security of the economy by hindering job growth.
