Senator Jackson said, “I am excited to be appointed to both of these important committees once again. I believe that all of my committee appointments will allow me to ensure that the voices of my constituents are heard and give me the opportunity to continue to work on behalf of the people in Duplin, Johnston, and Sampson counties, as well as the rest of our state. I thank Senator Phil Berger, Senate President Pro Tempore, for the confidence he has in my ability to continue to do the work of the people of North Carolina along with the rest of my senate colleagues.“
