Representative Sharon “Action” Jackson (R) is a trailblazing, highly energetic, determined and proven conservative leader. She has always had a heart for serving others in her community and country and she has great love for the state of Alaska. Growing up in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania she somehow KNEW at the age of 8 years that the Last Frontier State would someday be her home. She was right. Starting with her veteran roots in the United States Army when in 1983 she was assigned to Fort Richardson, AK. After her enlistment, she remained in Alaska as a student at Charter College in Anchorage graduating as a Certified Electronic Technician. Over the next 13 years she served businesses, ensuring clients were able to meet critical deadlines, among them were Fort Richardson Army and Elmendorf Air Force Bases. Most important though it was and is her gift to build lasting relationships in the community no matter the capacity in which she served. This trait would prove to be a hallmark by which anyone could identify her leadership influence in any situation.
Sharon would continue searching to serve people in a higher, more substantiative capacities like competing against 35 other applicants for a position with the state and federal small business lobby, The National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB).

This is where she gained the experience of advocating on behalf of the Senator assisting his constituents and communicating with government agencies to find solutions for real life problems. She became known for her work in walking disabled combat veterans, from start to finish, through the often-harrowing process of applying for and receiving VA benefits.
