Democrat Virginia Attorney General candidate Jay Jones appears to have violated the community service terms for his 2022 reckless driving charge, according to a statement the office that prosecuted the case provided to the Daily Caller.
Jones was arrested in New Kent County for driving 46 miles per hour over the speed limit in 2022. He avoided jail time through a “deferred deposition,” which allowed him to pay a fine and complete community service hours.
New Kent Deputy Commonwealth’s Attorney Randy Del Rossi told the Caller that Virginia defines community service as “unpaid service or labor performed through any non-political, charitable non-profit,” confirming prior reporting by Restoration News. “That’s all I’m gonna say,” Del Rossi added.

However, Jones completed roughly 500 hours of his community service through his political action committee (PAC), Meet Our Moment (MOM), which is registered with the Virginia Board of Elections and not recognized as a nonprofit charity.

Court documents obtained by Restoration News allegedly show Jones waived his arraignment, with the first hearing in his case set for April 26, 2022. Jones sought a continuation on his case multiple times for various reasons — including a prior court commitment, his wife being out of town, and his attorney’s unavailability.
Ultimately, the hearing on his reckless driving charge allegedly didn’t take place until after Jones had already completed his “community service” and a driver improvement course, timing that appeared particularly advantageous for him.
Jones’ community service documentation included a letter from MOM’s executive director, obtained by Restoration News, which states vaguely that the group’s mission is to “train civic leaders.”
The attestation letter Jay Jones submitted to the court — written on behalf of his own PAC, “Meet Our Moment” — claims community service credit for work done with an organization that “trains civic leaders,” despite the group’s stated purpose of recruiting and electing minority Democratic candidates.
The letter does not mention Jones’s involvement in the creation of the group, its designation as a state PAC, or that its true mission is to “recruit and train minority Democratic candidates to run for and win state and local offices.”
The attestation letter to the court appears to be a clear misrepresentation of the group’s purpose.
In addition to his reckless driving conviction, unearthed text messages from Jones to a Republican state delegate show him fantasizing about putting “two bullets to the head” of former Republican Virginia House Speaker Todd Gilbert. Jones also accused Gilbert and his wife of raising “little fascists” and that he hoped their children would die.

The Jones family has a long political history in Virginia. Jones’s father, Jerrauld Jones, was a prominent Virginia judge and former state legislator. He passed away in 2025.
