Jarrin Jackson today announced his campaign for the Republican nomination to Congress in the 2nd District. The Rogers County resident will challenge two-term incumbent Markwayne Mullin.
Jackson said, “I’m a combat veteran who has one unifying belief: Serve America. All of who I am, what I have done, and what I believe flows from that.”
He said, “This is a time for triage and intervention, not maintenance. Our country is getting sicker, and our enemies are using our goodness against us. We need to counter that. I am conservative, but I want to be judged by performance, not labels. I offer American values, fresh ideas, and military-grade grit.”
Jackson said he is for limited government, and believes security is the key to freedom and opportunity. “America didn’t prosper by accident back in the day. We prospered on purpose, asserting American ideals and stressing initiative. How we did it then is how we do it again.”
Jackson is a decorated, former Army Ranger who graduated from West Point and served two tours of duty in Afghanistan. A 5th generation Oklahoman, he grew up in Oologah, is married to a pediatrician, and has two boys.
Wow, this will be a tough one. I like Markwayne, but I’ve been reading Capt. Jackson’s excellent columns and I like him, too.
Mullin never served a day in his life in the military–and he is a plumber! Jackson is a leader.
He gives me hope for a true conservative, representing the people.
Mullin has a reading comprehension of an eighth grader. Four branches, whats the fourth mullin?
