Many happy memories of Sal taking charge and getting things done.  She was the consummate Democrat.  I honor her Legacy as best I can.  Thanks Sal for showing me the ropes.

I only got to know Sally recently but she had a big impact on me.  I spoke to her numerous times on the phone as part of our efforts to organize local volunteer efforts for the Biden campaign.  it quickly became clear what a warm, big-hearted person Sally is, and wickedly funny!  She was a natural people-connecter.  In recent weeks she called me with probably 20 names and numbers of interested Biden phone bankers she told me to reach out to.  Every time she would talk to me, she would call me "You darling boy" or "You darling Democrat."  Upon talking further, we realized we share a mutual love of baseball.  She knew my Grandfather Jack Spring (a local high school coach who played in the Majors) and we bonded over our shared love of Edgar Martinez.  Sally made me laugh every time we talked on the phone and was so genuine.  Her salty language made her even more likable.  I enjoyed getting to speak to her, getting to know her just a bit, and wish I'd have had chance to spend more time with her.  What a great lady with a huge impact in the Spokane region.

I've followed Sally Jackson since the days of the Honorable Tom Foley as our WA 5th Congressional Representative.  She was a fearless and vocal advocate for all who reside in our great district.  I was delighted to spend a few minutes with her at our last PCO in-person meeting to talk about our common work to advance the County Party and in support of Joe Biden for President.  Sally inspired me greatly and encouraged me to continue to advocate in making our Spokane County Party strong.   

My deepest sympathy to Sally Jackson's family and condolences to the Precinct she represented.  As we say in our Salish Language, Tahlee Lem Lemt.  Thank you Sally Jackson for all time through the Universe.  

Sally was always a friend and a valuable resource, she never let me down.  I will miss her.  Rest in peace my friend.

Sal: The most wonderful spirit on earth, she was vibrant and joyful, her laugh was contagious and authentic. Always treating people with love and respect.

What a wonderful friend, teacher, political leader!!!!  Her quality of person doesn't come one's way often.   I value the memories of the past shared with her.
