| Description | An openly gay Navajo man bested his opponents in a three-way primary race for an Arizona state Senate seat.
Jack Jackson, Jr., has had a long career of both public and tribal service. While serving in the Arizona House, he served on the Appropriations Committee and the Ways and Means Committee and worked to pass Senate Bill 1225-a measure to ban anti-gay workplace discrimination in Arizona.
Jackson also fought for rural and tribal concerns as a member of the Natural Resources, Agriculture, Water and Native American Affairs Committee. He served alongside his father, former state Sen. Jack C. Jackson, Sr., who represented the Navajo Nation in Phoenix for nearly 20 years. |
