On Feb. 13 Congressional Nominee, Ronny Jackson, came to the graduating students of Randall High to share his life story. His speech was not a planned route on his campaign tour, and was only requested by the administration through teacher Jan Weston, a fellow Texas A&M alumni, to come and inspire these students. Starting out with a mediocre, minimum-wage, job at the local grocery story, Jackson has made a name for himself in many areas of life. He has served in the United States Navy, pushed himself athletically, and was the White House physician for the previous three presidents: Bush, Obama, and Trump.

“It was apart of our dream big theme for this year,” teacher Jan Weston said. “You have a young man from Levelland, Tx who became a sea water demolition expert, dived with Navy Seals, ran a triage as a trauma surgeon specialist, embed within the marines at Fallujah, retired as a marine admiral after 24 active duty years. He really is driven by service, and would be an excellent representative from the 13th district of Texas. I think he well represents Panhandle values and he will tell you that hard work and determination will get you where you’re going in life, but you gotta work hard. I really appreciate his story: go out and get it and don’t wait for it to come to you.”
