What Happened

In 2022, the House Ethics Committee announced an investigation into possible campaign finance violations because Rep. Jackson used campaign funds to pay for membership at an Amarillo social club. In June of 2024, the House Ethics Committee announced an apparent second separate investigation (that was subsequently combined with the first one) since the Office of Congressional Ethics issued a second report recommending further review by House Ethics on the same topic because Rep. Jackson has continued to use campaign funds all this time to pay the Amarillo Club. On Dec. 30, 2024, the Committee announced that while "there was evidence that the Member’s campaign did not fully comply with the applicable standards relating to personal use of campaign funds, as well as reporting or recordkeeping requirements for campaign expenditures", the member did not do so intentionally. The investigation has been ended.
