In 2007, Jackson was honored by the Caregiving Youth Project of Pinellas,[2] and he was interviewed on The Daily Show after Steve Stanton, a city manager in Largo, was fired following the announcement of his intention to undergo sexual reassignment surgery.[3][4]
In 2009, Jackson failed to sign a loyalty oath as part of his application to qualify as a candidate for Mayor. The omission was not noticed until after the deadline of August 13 had based. Jackson's name was removed from the ballot over his objections, but he declined to pursue the matter in court.[5]
