- Legislative Altercation: During an Assembly floor debate on the morning of morning of June 27, 2024, Jackson was involved in an loud argument with Assemblyman Bill Essayli. During the debate over AB 1955 (2024; by Chris Ward), which would prohibit California schools from having policies to notify parents if students request to change their gender identity in school, Essayli began his comments by saying "I think this bill is everything that’s wrong with our politics today. This bill is built on a foundation of disinformation, hyperbole and fearmongering." Two minutes into his comments, Speaker pro Tem Jim Wood ruled that Essayli was out of order (for having comments of a general nature rather than on the merits of the bill), to which Essayli replied "I am not out of order," and "By the way, I am tired of being interrupted by you." At some point, Jackson yelled "You better watch yourself" multiple times at Essayli before he was restrained by Assemblymen Marc Berman and Isaac G. Bryan.
