Dr. Ronny Jackson was raised in Levelland, Texas where he learned the value of family, faith, and hard work. After working as a roustabout in the West Texas oilfields, he paid his way through undergraduate school at Texas A&M University. Following graduation from medical school at the University of Texas Medical Branch, he began active-duty service in the United States Navy.
With unique training in undersea medicine, he utilized his talents while assigned to locations ranging from Panama City, Florida to Sigonella, Italy. Dr. Jackson would later complete his residency in Emergency Medicine, finishing at the top of his class. Soon thereafter, he deployed to Iraq to lead Resuscitative Medicine efforts on the battlefield for a combat Surgical Shock Trauma Platoon.
My experience as a roustabout in the West Texas oil fields taught me firsthand how important oil and gas production are to Texas’ 13th Congressional District.
While the radical left pushes bad energy policies like the Green New Deal—which would decimate our ability to produce vital resources—I will always support legislation that protects the energy industry, and its impact on our local economy.
Maintaining America’s energy independence and Texas’s position as the nation’s leading oil and gas producer is an important priority to me, and I will be an active voice in standing up to the Biden Administration’s war on energy.
