What they stand for
Jackson has spent time focused on a few core fights. Each is tied to bills actually introduced or votes actually cast.
- 01Supports export control transparency for national securityJackson sponsored the Maintaining American Superiority by Improving Export Control Transparency Act (HR.1316), which was enacted into law. The legislation addresses transparency requirements within the U.S. export control system, an area with direct implications for protecting sensitive technologies and maintaining competitive advantages in international markets.
- 02Opposes federal fees on firearms ownersJackson sponsored the No User Fees for Gun Owners Act (HR.943), which would prohibit the imposition of user fees on gun owners in connection with federal firearms processes. The bill has drawn more than 50 cosponsors and has been reintroduced across multiple Congresses, indicating sustained legislative priority on this issue.
- 03Advances agricultural and farm policy measuresJackson has sponsored the FARM Act in multiple sessions (HR.513, HR.620), as well as the Foreign Animal Disease Prevention, Surveillance, and Rapid Response Act of 2025 (HR.3915). These bills address conditions and protections relevant to agricultural producers, reflecting the farming and ranching economy of the Texas Panhandle district he represents.
- 04Voted against multiple federal appropriations measuresJackson voted against final passage of the Further Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2024 (HR.2882), the Continuing Appropriations Act, 2024 and Other Extensions Act (HR.5860), and a further continuing appropriations bill (HR.2872), each of which became law. In each case, his vote was recorded against the majority of his party.
- 05Supports restricting public media and UNRWA fundingJackson sponsored the NPR and PBS Act (HR.2443), which addresses federal funding for public broadcasting, and the Uncovering UNRWA's Terrorist Crimes Act (HR.1252), which concerns U.S. engagement with the United Nations Relief and Works Agency. Both bills have been reintroduced across Congresses and have accumulated cosponsors in the House.
