From the desk of Candidate Jones:

Some politicians want you to know who they are for in Washington.  I want you to know that I'm for you!

  • I'm for those who struggle from paycheck to paycheck.

  • I'm for those who are struggling with childcare.

  • I'm for those who agree that our teachers should have a competitive wage and benefits.

  • I'm for those who put their lives on the line when called upon.

  • I'm for senior citizens who have carried our economy on their backs and are now overlooked when it's their time to retire.

  • I'm for those who took the steps to secure our freedom and are now struggling to survive in the very country they were willing to defend.

 Others may want you to know who they support in Washington, but I want you to know that no matter WHO is in Washington,

 I'M FOR YOU!

 …and that's why I am asking for your vote!
