# Sean P. Jackson on Fox News in 2016: Black Voter Outreach and Republican Strategy Sean P. Jackson appeared on Fox News in September 2016 as chairman of the Black Republican Caucus of Florida to discuss Republican outreach to Black voters during the presidential campaign. In the segment, Jackson argued that outreach could not be reduced to a single campaign stop or church visit. He said the campaign needed to continue engaging Black communities through Election Day and discussed his concerns about how late that outreach had begun. The appearance is part of a broader public record from 2015 and 2016 showing Jackson participating in national conversations about how Republicans approached Black voters. During the same period, other national reporting quoted him criticizing what he viewed as inadequate investment in sustained Black outreach by Republican organizations. The Fox appearance also identified Jackson on-air as chairman of the Black Republican Caucus of Florida, providing an independently published national-media reference for his leadership role. ## Sources - [Fox News: “Libertarian nominee Gary Johnson makes his pitch to voters” — transcript including Sean Jackson segment](https://www.foxnews.com/transcript/libertarian-nominee-gary-johnson-makes-his-pitch-to-voters) - [The Daily Beast: “Black Republicans: The RNC Gave Up on Us”](https://www.thedailybeast.com/black-republicans-the-rnc-gave-up-on-us/) See also the Office of Sean P.
