Bronze Star Veteran Dennis Jackson Launches Campaign in HD-70

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

November 18, 2025

Cynthiana, KY – Today, Dennis Jackson, a decorated U.S. Army veteran, former federal law enforcement officer, and Harrison County farmer, announced his campaign to represent Kentucky’s 70th District in the State House. Jackson is vowing to deliver conservative leadership that puts Kentucky families first.

“In uniform, I swore an oath to protect this country. At home I’ve worked in law enforcement, built a life on a 25-acre farm, raised a family, and served my community,” Jackson said. “Too many politicians are more interested in headlines and political theater than fighting for Kentucky families. That’s why I’m running — to bring real conservative leadership to Frankfort.”

Jackson’s record of service is long and tested. He served four years in the U.S. Coast Guard, then joined the Army in 2003. During Operation Iraqi Freedom he led more than 275 combat missions as a Personal Security Officer and was awarded the Bronze Star Medal. He later served with the Defense Threat Reduction Agency overseeing weapons inspections overseas, and received the Defense Meritorious Service Medal and the Joint Commendation Medal. After active duty, Jackson continued to serve our nation as a federal police officer with the Department of Veterans Affairs and later transitioned to the private sector as a manager at Global-SQ. In 2020, he and his wife settled on a 25-acre farm in Harrison County — a daily reminder of the values of hard work, perseverance, and community.

The Jackson campaign will run a grassroots, Kentucky-first message that highlights:

• Service & Security: Backing veterans, supporting law enforcement, and defending communities.

• Farm & Family: Fighting for policies that protect family farms and strengthen rural economies.

• Conservative Leadership: A record of action over theatrics — a fighter who will be a reliable ally for all of us in Frankfort.
