Norfolk Delegate Jay Jones says he will seek the Democratic nomination for Attorney General.
(WDBJ) - Virginia Governor Ralph Northam Thursday announced his endorsement of Delegate Jay Jones for attorney general. This is the governor’s first endorsement of the 2021 cycle.
In a statement Thursday morning, Gov. Northam said:
“We have made lasting progressive change over the last four years from Medicaid expansion to abolishing the death penalty to criminal justice reform, but it is time for a new generation of leaders to take the reins. Jay Jones has stood with me every step of the way in our journey to make Virginia a more just and equitable place to live. He has been my partner as we have worked to change our Commonwealth. He also understands the deep scars of racism and will represent the diversity of our Commonwealth. That is why I’m honored to endorse him in his race for attorney general.
