State House Democrat Derrick Jackson Joins Lieutenant Governor’s Race

Another state House member is jumping into the race for Georgia’s lieutenant governor post.

Rep. Derrick Jackson, a Tyrone Democrat, made the announcement Wednesday.

Jackson, who was first elected to the House in 2016, said he wants to work toward a Georgia “where everyone has full access to the American dream” and toward a state that provides “affordable and convenient access” to health care for all.
