Jovan Jackson Champions Justice, Mental Health, and Housing in Freshman Legislative Term
Assemblymember Jovan Jackson discussed his legislative journey, highlighting his freshman term in Carson City. He passed two bills: AB 321, allowing inmates who fought wildfires to continue post-release, and AB 406, protecting mental health services from AI replacement. Despite one veto and three bills that failed, he emphasized the importance of perseverance. His district, encompassing North Las Vegas, faces challenges like affordable housing, which he addressed with a bill on tax-exempt ADUs. Jackson also shared his background in mental health and overcoming incarceration, advocating for justice-impacted individuals to run for office.
