Norfolk, VA — Today, former Delegate Jay Jones launched his campaign for Attorney General of Virginia on a promise to fight for Virginia’s families and take extreme politics out of the Attorney General’s office.
“Today, with hope for a brighter future for our Commonwealth and our nation, I am proud to announce my campaign for Attorney General of Virginia,” said Jay Jones. “As Virginia’s Attorney General, my highest priority will always be the safety and freedom of Virginia families.
“As your Attorney General, I will protect Virginia families, our children, and the most vulnerable. We’ll crack down on those who would do our kids harm by working with law enforcement to get illegal guns off our streets, shut down drug traffickers, and hold to account gun manufacturers whose weapons of war are used to commit mass shootings and crimes.
“I’ll take on the social media companies fueling a mental health crisis among young people and corporations that pollute our air and water. I’ll crack down on price-gougers, predatory lenders, and corporate landlords that break the law and make life unaffordable for the middle class.
“The incoming Trump administration threatens families with higher health care costs, higher prices, and hazards to our health. And President-elect Trump will find an eager accomplice in Virginia Attorney General Miyares. Jason Miyares has used his office to advance his own radical, ideological agenda, not protect Virginians. If the Trump administration again tries to raise health care costs by taking apart the Affordable Care Act, I’ll be the first to take them to court to stop it. And I will always fight back against any attempt to undermine abortion rights in Virginia.”
