Michael Jones
Democrat
In Office
Positions
General
Join the movement to ensure more responsive and reflective representation in the House of Delegates 77th District.
Background
Councilman Mike Jones has seen firsthand the struggle of using sparse resources to do more with less at the local level and wants to invest state dollars into equity driven education like universal pre-K.
Experience
As a black man, Mike knows people of color are over represented in the criminal justice system and underrepresented in elected office. We need to rectify some of the wrongs of the past but more importantly stop the next generation from being pulled into the system. Mike wants to slow the school to prison pipeline, reform policing, help returning citizens get into the workforce, and eliminate mandatory minimum sentences.
General
Mike has and will always fight for women to control their own healthcare decisions. He feels strongly that the government should never limit access to or prevent a woman from making their own choices.
