Jay Jones is an American politician, former state delegate, and the Attorney General-elect of Virginia. He is a member of the Democratic Party and ran in the November 4, 2025, general election against Republican incumbent Jason Miyares.
The interest spiked due to the high-stakes election on November 4, 2025, which Jones won, making him the first African American elected to the office. The race received national attention because of a late-campaign scandal where Jones's 2022 text messages surfaced, containing violent remarks against a Republican political figure, which became a central point of attack from his opponents.
Jones's campaign focused on issues like lowering costs for families, combating violent crime, and defending against the federal government's policies under President Trump. Opponents focused on the text message scandal, which drew bipartisan condemnation and led Republicans—including Trump—to call for him to drop out, painting him as unfit for office. His eventual victory contributed to a Democratic triplex in Virginia.
