Jonas J. Eppert completed Ballotpedia's Candidate Connection survey in 2025. The survey questions appear in bold and are followed by Eppert's responses. Candidates are asked three required questions for this survey, but they may answer additional optional questions as well.
| Collapse all
- Lower Healthcare Costs: Every Virginian deserves affordable, quality healthcare, regardless of zip code. As your Delegate, Jonas will work to lower prescription drug prices and out-of-pocket expenses.
- Invest in Our Public Schools: Strong public schools are the foundation of our future. Jonas will invest in teachers, classrooms, and students to ensure every child has the opportunity to succeed.
- Cut Everyday Costs for Virginians: Jonas will prioritize easing the financial burden on families by tackling high costs for essentials like groceries, gas, and utilities.
His grandfather on his father’s side also played a formative role. He worked under Chicago Mayor Richard Daley, where he was a strong advocate for affirmative action in the Cook County School District and later became involved in civil rights work. Through his public service and advocacy, he advanced policies that expanded opportunity and pushed for equal treatment. For Jonas, these weren’t just family stories—they were lessons in leadership, justice, and the responsibility to stand up for others. That legacy continues to guide him in his commitment to equity, dignity, and opportunity for all.
