Your vote.  Your voice. What’s on your mind?  Who do you want to win and why?

Traveling on the ‘campaign trail’ with Judge Sandra Jackson the last month has been inspiring and encouraging.  Yes, times have changed, but the voter is also more direct and educated with poignant questions.  The heartbeat of questions is who are you and why should I vote for you.

Let me share with you a few answers from a recent forum. 

Voter:  Why should I vote for you?

Judge Jackson:  The 302^nd Family District Court is strictly about family, resolving conflicts, and protecting the vulnerable while following the facts, evidence, and law.  I have lived and worked in the family law profession for more than two(2)decades.  As a judge, I have worked to build a career that fosters understanding, family law, and the best interests of our children.

Voter:  What are your strongest strengths as a judge?

Judge Jackson:  Thank you for that question.  I am grateful that my parents grounded and rooted me in the words of our Creator.  I have spent my life in service to my community, my profession, my sorority, and my church.  I am evolving into a better leader.  I am a judge and a staunch advocate for voters’ rights.  I am courageous and embrace opportunities to grow with new ideas. 

Voter:  Why a career in Family Court Practices?

Judge Jackson: My mission in the 302^nd District Court is to continue to create more in the area of Family Solutions.  This is my third term.  There still exists a great need here for experience, compassion, and integrity, which I possess.    We have an approved “Specialty Court”  known as Legacy Court that provides programs where families can dialogue with each other and reach solutions. I want to continue to interact with community-based services like Casa.

Voter:  What’s in your future for this court should you win?

Judge Jackson:  So happy you asked that question. 

Listening is also a major part of my duty as a Judge.  By being proactive and listening, we are developing programs involving the community and grandparents raising grandchildren.   To-date, there are emerging programs in the communities around us that are enrolling and engaging grandparents. Last year, I attended a luncheon meeting with current grandparents raising another generation, which was followed by a guest invitation to an existing community program of ‘grands raising grands’.

Thank you, and please follow Judge Jackson…SandraJackson4Judge@gmail.com and on all social media platforms.  Early VOTING ……. Starts February 17, 2026.
