Judge Jackson states that the magistrate court case load and responsibilities have increased significantly during his tenure.

“I believe that we have met the challenges that these changes have presented over the years,” said Judge Jackson.

“I am seeking re-election because of my dedication and desire to serve the public and to give back to the community that has done so much for me and my family,” says Judge Jackson.

“The magistrate court has worked well with the other courts and constitutional officers over the past few years. If re-elected, I expect that this spirit of cooperation and teamwork will continue into the next four year term. I promise that I will use my experience and good old fashioned hard work to provide a court we will continue to be proud of,” said Judge Jackson.

“I would greatly appreciate your prayers, your consideration, your continued support and your vote on election day.”
