David D. Jackson (born November 7, 1946) is an American former politician who served as a Republican in the Kansas State Senate from 2001 to 2004.
Jackson is the owner of a greenhouse in Topeka.[2] He was originally elected to the Senate in 2000. In the 2004 election, he faced a challenge from Democrat (and future Governor) Laura Kelly for his Senate seat in the 18th district; Jackson was narrowly defeated in the general election, taking 49.8% of the vote and losing by fewer than 100 votes in the final count.[3]
In 2016, Jackson attempted to win back the seat, challenging Kelly once again. He lost another close election, this time claiming 48.3% of the vote.[4]
