Following his time in Taiwan, Jackson returned home to Minnesota, working for two years at the Minnesota Senate as a Legislative Assistant focusing on a variety of policy areas including energy efficiency, child welfare, and elections.

Outside of work, Jackson enjoys rowing crew on the Mississippi River during the summer, sitting down to read a good book at a local park or coffee shop, and keeping up on his Chinese language skills.
