Jay Jones Kicks Off Early Voting with Endorsers in Norfolk
Norfolk, VA — Today, Jay Jones joined supporters and endorsers at Norfolk City Hall to kick off early voting in the Virginia Democratic Primary.
Before casting his ballot, Jones said the following:
“With our vote, we fight for our rights, our families, and our Commonwealth.
“We’ve all seen what’s happening: Donald Trump is waging war on our democracy and the middle class.
“And instead of standing up for us, Jason Miyares has made himself Trump’s personal attorney.
“He’s siding with Trump and Musk as they illegally fire Virginia workers.
“He’s using his office and taxpayer dollars to attack abortion rights, pander to the fringes of his party, and side with his big corporate donors at the cost of our families.
“But I’ve taken on MAGA extremists like him before.
“As a lawmaker, I protected abortion access.
“As an Assistant Attorney General, I took on the gun lobby.
“And I took Glenn Youngkin to court to defend Virginians’ voting rights.
“I’m running to be your next Attorney General because we need a fighter in that office—not a rubber stamp for extremists.
“I’m proud to have the support in this campaign of more than 100 Democratic leaders from across Virginia, including Governor Ralph Northam and Governor Terry McAuliffe.
“As your Attorney General, I will fight every day for Virginia’s workers and seniors, families and children.
“I’ll take on the corporations that pollute our air and water. And crack down on the price-gougers, predatory lenders, and corporate landlords that break the law and make life unaffordable and unsafe for the working Virginians.
“And I will always fight back against any attempt to undermine abortion rights in this Commonwealth.
“And join the fight to enshrine these rights in our state constitution.
“Early voting starts today.
“So go vote! Bring your family, friends, neighbors, and coworkers.
“Because today, we fight back.
“Let’s vote, let’s win!
“Thank you very much!”
