I rise today to honor Mack Jackson, who announced his retirement from the Georgia House of Representatives after 18 years of service. Representative Jackson was first inspired to serve others by John F. Kennedy's famous words: "Ask not what your country can do for you; ask what you can do for your country." To do this, Representative Jackson has served on eight legislative committees, always prioritizing the needs of rural communities. On the Health Committee, he worked to eradicate healthcare deserts in rural communities by incentivizing students to work in them. As chair of the Rural Development Committee, he passed legislation to bring the same economic development prosperity that metro areas enjoy to rural communities. Representative Jackson is also involved with the Georgia Justice Project where he works to give people opportunities for a second chance. I thank Representative Jackson for his service and wish him the best in this next chapter of his life.
