Who is Daniel Jackson?
Daniel was raised in Augusta, Georgia, and made that his home until he joined the military. Growing up, he experienced many issues that continue to plague our youth throughout the nation today, such as poverty, lack of access to quality healthcare, and gang violence. He had completely dropped out of high school by the age of 14 and began working full-time to contribute to his household. After obtaining his general education diploma, he joined the U.S. Army Signal Corps at the age of 17. He would then serve in the U.S. Army on active duty for the next 20 years, rising from the rank of Private to Chief Warrant Officer 2. He earned a Masters of Science degree in Information Technology Management and served in numerous leadership positions across the globe during this time. His final assignment involved serving as the military leader of an experimental program that focused on the development of future technologies.
Daniel was hired as the vice president of a government contracting company immediately following his retirement from the U.S. Army. A few months later, his older brother passed away from a drug overdose. This tragedy was one of many reasons that Daniel made the decision to return to his family in Augusta. Daniel has been heavily involved in mentoring troubled youth, coaching youth sports, and developing ways to bolster K–12 technical education since his return to Georgia.
Daniel has decided to run as a candidate in 2024 for Representative of Georgia’s 12th Congressional District because he is concerned about the future of the state of Georgia and the nation. The 12th Congressional District needs more quality opportunities to create meaningful economic impact in its underserved communities to help break the cycle of generational poverty and more investments in rural communities to generate quality growth. He feels that as an elected official, he will be able to solve some of the most pressing issues within the district’s workplaces, schools, and neighborhoods.
