Jay Jones Wins Democratic Nomination For Virginia Attorney General, Will Take on MAGA Jason Miyares
“Virginia needs leaders who will put Virginians first. Who will stand up to the powerful corporate special interests. Who will stand up for the rule of law. Who will keep us safe. And that’s exactly what I will do as your Attorney General.” – Jay Jones
Norfolk, VA — Today, Jay Jones won the Democratic nomination for Virginia Attorney General. Jones will take on MAGA Attorney General Jason Miyares in November in what will be one of the most critical, competitive and closely watched elections in the country.
Jay Jones released the following statement:
“To the Democrats across the Commonwealth who supported this campaign, I am honored to accept your nomination for Attorney General. I am ready for this fight and to win this November.
“The most powerful corporations and special interests believe that Virginia’s government should be beholden to them. They will spend more trying to beat us in November by funding Donald Trump’s pro-bono attorney, Jason Miyares. And we are ready for that fight because it’s not their government, it’s yours. As your next Attorney General, I will return the power back to you. To the people of Virginia.
“Virginia needs leaders who will put Virginia first. Who will stand up to the powerful corporate special interests. Who will stand up for the rule of law. Who will keep us safe. And that’s exactly what I will do as your Attorney General.”
