Jackson is an electoral district of the Enderronian Parliament in Wentworth Metropolis, first contested at the 1954 federal election. It is an outer metropolitan district in Wentworth's northwestern suburbs. It is named after colonial settler and landowner Henry Jackson.
The sitting member, since the 2010 election, is Ross Deng, a member of the Social Democratic Party.
==History==
Jackson is located in northwestern Wentworth, split between the Social Democratic heartland of the outer western and northern suburbs and a smaller number of affluent, Liberal-leaning suburbs closer to the CBD.
Prior to the 1970s, Jackson was located closer to the Wentworth CBD and also included parts of the more conservative North Shore region. It was held by the United Party continuously from its creation to 1966. Since then, it has tended to be a marginal to fairly safe Social Democratic electorate, being won by the Liberals and their predecessors only at landslide elections.
Jackson was held by former Prime Minister Rick Clarkson from 1982 to 2003.
