Jackson is from a military family, and he told WTSP-10 News that he understands that times can get tough raising a family on a budget.

"I mean, I knew, growing up in a military household, sometimes things are tight," he said. "I know it's going to go a long way for these families, especially these young families to help keep some of that stuff in their pocket."
