Statement on Jay Jones’ violent texts: This is horrible to read and should be wholly disqualifying of someone running for an office that protects the people of Virginia. Jay Jones wished death on children and fantasized about killing people. “Now we learn Jay Jones repeatedly said he wanted to kill Speaker Todd Gilbert. Virginia deserves far better.”Democrat Jay Jones has been endorsed by pro-abortion advocates for his relentless support for both abortion and contraception.
