Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

My name is Brittany Nichole Jones, I am a military veteran, mom of 3, and a member of the LGBTQIA2S community. I do not give up without a fight, because you are worth fighting for. I am fighting for your kids, as well as mine, because I do not want them to struggle like we have. I may be running as a Democrat, but I don't stop the work at party lines, I see people over policy. We are more than just red and blue.

Please list below 3 key messages of your campaign. What are the main points you want voters to remember about your goals for your time in office?

• No one is illegal on stolen land, I stand with first nations. We will honor and enforce the treaties, correct past wrongs, and work together for a better and safer future for us all. We all deserve clean water, clean air, food, healthcare, safety, and true freedom. Ice will not run rampant targeting our BIPOC community members. In First Nations 2 spirit are sacred, in Oregon I will keep our LGBTQIA2S+ rights protected, we will have access to healthcare, reproductive healthcare, transgender healthcare, fair housing, and no one will be criminalized for seeking or providing care.
• As someone born and raised in Oregon, who started hunting at 8 years old, I support the 2nd amendment. However, as a mother of 3 school aged children I also understand the need for our schools to be safe for them to learn. These two issues are not mutually exclusive, and I believe there is a way to do both.
• Oregon has so much potential for infrastructure development regarding housing, job growth, and highway improvement for our truckers that provide not just the larger cities with goods, but our surrounding towns as well. Improving our highways and interstates with more rest stops, and safety improvements will greatly help our goods and services industries. We are inundated with a homeless crisis due to rising costs, homeless relocation, substance abuse and not enough resources or support services. While many of our bills have good intentions, the execution often falls short of expectation. As governor I will continue to work with the people, and not forget where I came from.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

I am passionate about the safety and education of our community. I love seeing policies that encourage us to come together, policies that make Oregon safer, greener, and more prosperous.

What characteristics or principles are most important for an elected official?

Brittany truly believes that elected officials must work with the people. Too many forget that that is the core of the job once elected, is to serve the people.

What was your very first job? How long did you have it?

Before I could legally have a job I was a babysitter, after that I worked in the food service industry as well as with my family harvesting grapes at King Estate Winery until I joined the U.S. Army on my 18th birthday.

What is your favorite book? Why?

The Wheel of Time series is my all time favorite tied with Kushiels legacy, both books have wonderful world and character building.

What is something that has been a struggle in your life?

I grew up in the poverty level, and like many have had to work for everything I have had. I know all too well how close we are to losing everything we have, because I have lost everything... more than once. We should not have to live paycheck to paycheck, choosing between eating or paying the electric bill. Something has to change.

In most states, governors have the power to make line-item vetoes. If that is true in your state, what would be your philosophy for how and when to use this power?

Any time that something would be presented to her office that would negatively affect the safety of her constituents, she would use her veto power to protect them.

What do you perceive to be your state's greatest challenges over the next decade?

The greatest challenge will be earning the trust of the people. The government at every level has abused its power for far too long, its time for one of us to get into office to make real change.
