Neal Jackson was born in Pinehurst, North Carolina, to two schoolteachers who taught him from an early age the importance of hard work, integrity always, and compassion for others.  Neal started his first business at the age of ten, and in a matter of weeks he was mowing thirty lawns in their neighborhood because of hard work, done well, at a VERY reasonable price.

In college, he met his soul mate Tracy Jackson, sitting in alphabetical order in a Tuesday evening class. She would eventually become Tracy Jackson-Jackson and the mother of their five children.

 

After college and graduate school, Neal started an insurance and financial planning firm that he operated for thirteen years.  God abundantly blessed the firm with awards and hundreds of clients. The secret to the success of the business was the lessons he learned from his parents of hard work, integrity always, and compassion for others.   
 

After selling the firm, Neal followed his passion of helping people into the pastorate which brought the family back to North Carolina. He has been the pastor at Beulah Baptist Church in Bennett, North Carolina since 2009. Having spent more than a decade giving advice about earthly investments, he is now honored to give advice about eternal investments.
 

In 2022, Neal was elected to the North Carolina House of Representatives, 78th district which includes Randolph and Moore counties. He is privileged to serve as the Senior Chair of the Finance Committee, Vice Chair of the Energy Committee, and a member of the Rules, Agriculture, and Higher Ed committees.

 

Neal advocates for his constituents with a focus on principled governance. He has passed meaningful legislation in the areas of finance, real estate, education, and criminal justice, driving impactful change for his district and the state.

 

Neal’s goals in life are not political, but to live a life that pleases God and keeps the principles taught to him by his parents: the importance of hard work, integrity always, and compassion for others.  

Neal and Tracy have five children, three grandchildren, a great church family, two dogs, thirty black Angus cows, and 96,000 constituents they are able to represent in the State House of North Carolina.
