Army First Sergeant with 21 years of service as a Signal Communications Solider. He is also a Desert Storm and Operation Iraqi Freedom II Veteran as well as a Bronze Star Recipient. He relocated to South Alabama for his job with DuPont in January 2013. He and his family moved to Baldwin County in August 2013.
Mr. Jones received his Bachelor of Science Degree in Liberal Arts with a focus in Administration and Management from Excelsior University-Albany, NY.
He is an Associate Minister at Macedonia Missionary Baptist Church in Daphne, AL. Mr. Jones retired from FMC Agriculture Solutions as a Process Safety Management Coordinator in May 2024. He served two years as the President of the Board of Directors for the nonprofit Alabama Arise, he is on the Steering Committee for Leadership Baldwin, and on the Executive Committee for the Commission on Social Justice and Racial Reconciliation of the Episcopal Diocese of the Gulf Coast.- Leadership matters! Congress needs to remember who they work for-not their party, not the White House, but the people in their district. I'll make certain their voices are heard and their needs are addressed, starting on day one.
- Comprehensive healthcare for all. No exceptions and nobody left behind. Hard working taxpayers of Alabama should never have to fear financial ruin from a health emergency.
- Total government transparency. No politics. No excuses. 100% honesty and accountability for our citizens. They deserve to know the truth of what our government is...and why.
