The Jack Brooks Foundation
Jack Brooks authored important legislation during his 42 years in Congress that remains foundational to our nation’s laws to this day. More than that, it was how he conducted himself as a representative of all his constituents, and how he was able to successfully collaborate with other members on both sides of the aisle. It would be good for America and for future politicians to apply his balanced methodology when crafting current legislation.
