Ronny Lynn Jackson (born May 4, 1967) is an American physician, politician, and former United States Navy officer. He is the U.S. representative for Texas's 13th congressional district.[4] The district is based in Amarillo and includes the Panhandle and much of northeast Texas, as far as Denton.

Jackson joined the White House Medical Unit in the mid-2000s under George W. Bush, and served as physician to the president from 2013 to 2018 under Barack Obama and Donald Trump.[5][6]

In March 2018, Trump nominated Jackson to be U.S. secretary of veterans affairs to succeed David Shulkin,[6][7][8] but Jackson withdrew the following month amid allegations of misconduct and mismanagement during his service in the White House.[9][10][11][12][13][14] In February 2019, Trump appointed Jackson assistant to the president and chief medical advisor, a new position in the Executive Office.[15]

Jackson retired from the Navy as a rear admiral (lower half) in December 2019.[16] In 2020, he was elected to the U.S. House of Representatives. In 2021, an investigation by the Defense Department inspector general found that Jackson had engaged in various inappropriate behaviors as an admiral; the following year, the Navy retroactively demoted him to the rank of captain.
