BioGrowing up in a working class family in the Chicago suburbs, Jacky was the first in her family to graduate from college. To afford higher education and make ends meet, she took out student loans and worked multiple jobs, including waiting tables at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas where she was a proud member of Culinary Workers Union Local 226. Jacky earned her undergraduate bachelor's degree from the University of Minnesota, Minneapolis in 1979 and later earned her associate's degree in computing and information technology in 1985 from Clark County Community College, which is now the College of Southern Nevada. After working as a computer programmer at major companies in Southern Nevada, she later stepped away from her career to take care of her aging parents and in-laws as they dealt with increasing health issues.
Before being elected to public office, Jacky served as President of Congregation Ner Tamid, Nevada's largest synagogue. She holds the distinction of being the third female Jewish Senator in U.S. history, as well as the first former synagogue president to serve in the Senate. An outspoken supporter of Israel and combating antisemitism, she is now the co-founder and co-chair of the Bipartisan Task Force for Combating Antisemitism and the bipartisan Abraham Accords Caucus in the Senate.
Jacky has called Nevada home for more than 40 years. She and her husband Larry live in Henderson and are the proud parents of their daughter, Miranda.
