Jovan Alexander Jackson is an incumbent Nevada State Assemblymember representing District 6. His unique journey includes founding a mental health business, personal struggles with substance abuse, and a 2016 conviction for conspiracy to commit robbery, which led to incarceration. Overcoming these challenges, and a fight with stage 3 cancer, he was elected to the Assembly, becoming one of the first formerly incarcerated individuals to serve in the Nevada Legislature. Jackson is a strong advocate for criminal justice reform, including ending cash bail and facilitating criminal history sealing. He also prioritizes expanding access to affordable housing across all income levels by increasing supply and protecting renters.
