Voting rights lead Jackson's indexed remarks at six, and the ending of diversity programs by executive order follows at five. A Capitol Police retirement and the Farm, Food, and National Security Act account for three each, alongside tributes in Illinois.

- 2026-07-30HONORING BURDEEN CHICAGO AND THE ENTREPRENEURIAL LEADERSHIP OF GERARDO AND ROLANDO ALVAREZ“Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Burdeens Chicago, a family-owned small business deeply rooted in the Pilsen and Heart of Chicago neighborhoods, and to commend its owners, brothers Gerardo and Rolando Alvarez, for their remarkable journey of entrepreneurship, resilience, and community stewardship.”
- 2026-07-15HONORING GEORGE E. JOHNSON“Mr. Speaker, there are some people who build companies, and there are others who build confidence. George E. Johnson did both. He understood something this Nation too often refused to see--that Black people did not need permission to be beautiful, brilliant, or prosperous.”
- 2026-06-30HONORING KHADIJAH MUHAMMAD FARRAKHAN“Mr. Speaker, we gather today with grateful hearts to honor a remarkable woman whose life was not measured merely by the years she lived but by the lives she lifted.”
- 2026-06-30CELEBRATING AMERICA'S 250TH ANNIVERSARY: CONTRADICTION AND HOPE“Mr. Speaker, my reflections on the Nation's 250th anniversary: Happy birthday, America. Mr. Speaker, 250 years ago, a remarkable experiment was launched upon this continent. It announced to the world that liberty was a universal birthright, that governments derived their authority from the consent of the governed, and that human dignity deserved political expression.”

Where the Words Are
The Congressional Record marks Jonathan L. Jackson as speaking in 93 items of business across 39 sitting days of this Congress.
Many of those appearances are procedural: yielding time, a request to revise and extend, a call for the yeas and nays. The count comes from the Record's own speaker tagging, which is not complete, so a member may have spoken more often than it shows.
