Campaign themes

Jones' campaign website highlighted the following issues:[1]
Taxes
- Excerpt: "It’s time to stop punishing workers for going to work. A Georgia FairTax would replace the income tax and instead use a sales tax based on consumption."
Guns
- Excerpt: "Stuart firmly believes the Second Amendment is essential in today’s society just as it was when written. The government shall not have any right to infringe on our right to protect our families."
Support creation of the city of Sharon Springs
- Excerpt: "Stuart has long been in favor of some form of incorporation, township, or city-lite to create a new entity of Sharon Springs in Forsyth County."
Term limits
- Excerpt: "We do not need career politicians. I believe it’s time for us to term limit politicians who wish to make their full-time living off the backs of taxpayers."
Religious liberty
- Excerpt: "The state of Georgia should protect people of all faiths from the encroachment of government. No individual should be forced to violate their conscience as guarded under the Bill of Rights."
