Jay Jones is Smart on Crime

Sept. 20, 2025

The following letter was submitted to a local paper by one of our members

I’ve been diving into the commercials of all the attorney general candidates, and I have to say, it’s been quite eye-opening!

One candidate keeps emphasizing that his opponent is soft on crime, yet I haven’t heard a clear plan from him. Personally, I want an Attorney General who stands by the Constitution — not just another yes man! After exploring both candidates' websites, it's evident that one is focused on dividing Virginia while the other is dedicated to finding real solutions to our pressing issues.

I am particularly impressed with Jay Jones and his proactive approach to tackle our problems head-on! His plan includes restoring a department-wide focus on targeting violent crime, drug trafficking, sexual abuse, and serious repeat offenses. Plus, he aims to expand violence interruption programs in more communities to address the root causes of gun violence and even create a Child Safety Unit within the Attorney General’s Office.

Because of Jay Jones's comprehensive plan of action, I'm excited to support someone who is truly smart on crime! Let's rally behind a candidate who prioritizes our community's safety and well-being!
