ABOUT DENNIS JACKSON
FROM THE BATTLEFIELD TO THE FARM, FIGHTING FOR KENTUCKY.
Dennis Jackson has lived a life of service. He began his journey in the U.S. Coast Guard before joining the Army in 2003. As a member of the Army’s Criminal Investigation Division and later as a Personal Security Officer in Iraq, Dennis led over 275 combat missions during Operation Iraqi Freedom, earning the Bronze Star Medal for valor.
After his service in Iraq, Dennis was stationed in Germany, where he worked on international weapons inspections in Russia, Ukraine, Georgia, and the Baltics under the Dayton Peace Accords. For his critical work, he was awarded the Defense Meritorious Service Medal and Joint Commendation Medal.
When he returned home, Dennis continued to serve as a law enforcement officer and federal police officer with the Department of Veterans Affairs. Later, he brought his leadership to the private sector as a manager at GLOBAL-SQ.
In 2020, Dennis and his wife put down roots in Harrison County, buying a 25-acre farm. Farming reminds him daily of the values that built Kentucky — discipline, sacrifice, and perseverance. Like so many farmers, Dennis has seen how rising costs and Washington red tape hurt rural communities, and he’s determined to change that in Congress.
From volunteering after Hurricane Andrew, to coaching the German-American Special Olympics, to teaching self-defense to survivors of assault, Dennis has always lived his commitment to others. Now, he’s stepping forward to fight for Kentucky’s farmers, families, and future.
