Katrina Renee Jackson (born July 1977) is a lawyer from Monroe, Louisiana, who is a Democratic member of the Louisiana House of Representatives for District 16, which includes Morehouse and Ouachita parishes.
Jackson earned a bachelor's degree from the University of Louisiana at Monroe and a Juris Doctor from the Southern University Law Center in Baton Rouge.
Jackson was elected to the state House in 2011. She serves on the Agriculture, Forestry, Aquaculture, and Rural Development Committee, the Commerce Committee, the Health and Welfare Committee, the Appropriations Committee, the Committee on Joint Budget, and the House Executive Committee. Jackson is a member of the Louisiana Legislative Women's Caucus and the Louisiana Rural Caucus, and is the head of the Louisiana Legislative Black Caucus.
In 2014, Jackson authored HB388, which requires abortion providers to have admitting privileges with a hospital near their clinics. The law, approved with only five dissenters in the House, would reportedly result in three of the state's five abortuaries closing immediately.
