convert_tz is taking on GMT at the end of the date although I'm converting to East Coast Time

Question

So here the the time in the database...

2023-01-02 21:00:00

Here is the select that I use to get the information out of the database...

SELECT job_id,job_desc,
    CONVERT_TZ(job_date, 'GMT', 'US/Eastern') "job_date",
    cust_auto_id,
    cost,
    paid,
    mileage,
    (
    SELECT
    CONCAT(LastName, ',', FirstName) 
    from
    persons
    where
    jobs.person_id = persons.person_id) "Name"
    from jobs where job_id = %s'''
        cursorone.execute(sql,(1,))

Here is what is returned in the JSON block

{
  "Name": "Lterkdkflskd,Robert",
  "cost": "0.00",
  "cust_auto_id": 2,
  "job_date": "Mon, 02 Jan 2023 16:00:00 GMT",
  "job_desc": "Front Tires",
  "job_id": 1,
  "mileage": 123432,
  "paid": ""
}
