Democrats Rally To Get Dead Children Enjoyer Jay Jones Across Finish Line In Virginia AG Election

Democratic Virginia attorney general candidate Jay Jones unseated Republican incumbent Jason Miyares on Tuesday, winning 51.6% of the statewide vote with 80% of precincts reporting, according to the Associated Press.

Jones and Miyares have been locked in a razor-thin contest this cycle. Pre-election polling showed the race effectively tied, with some surveys giving Miyares a slight advantage and others showing Jones edging ahead, The New York Times reported.

Jones’s victory followed a tumultuous final stretch of the campaign marked by scandal surrounding Jones. The former delegate came under fire over leaked 2022 text messages sent to then-Republican colleague Del. Carrie Coyner, in which he said he would give former House Speaker Todd Gilbert “two bullets to the head” and urinate on his grave. Jones made the comments after leaving the state House.

Just two days before Jones’ text messages surfaced, reports revealed he had satisfied a reckless driving sentence by logging community service hours with his own political action committee, Meet Our Moment.

Court filings show a state trooper cited Jones in 2022 after clocking him at 116 mph in a 70-mph zone, only weeks after he left the House of Delegates. His attorney obtained multiple continuances before the case was resolved through a deferred disposition, allowing him to avoid up to a year in jail in exchange for community service.

Jones ultimately paid a $1,500 fine and completed 1,000 hours of community service in 2023 — roughly half credited to work for Meet Our Moment, a PAC registered with the Virginia Department of Elections but not classified as a nonprofit, the Daily Caller previously reported.

Jones is reportedly under investigation after a special prosecutor was appointed to review claims that he misrepresented details of his community service hours tied to the reckless driving case.

Coyner later alleged in a separate interview that Jones remarked in 2020 that the deaths of a few police officers could “save other lives.”

Miyares, whose mother fled communist Cuba, became the first Hispanic American elected to statewide office in Virginia and the first child of an immigrant to serve as attorney general. He first won the office in 2021, narrowly defeating Democratic incumbent Mark Herring with 50.36% of the vote, according to the Virginia Public Access Project.

He previously served as a prosecutor in the Virginia Beach Commonwealth’s Attorney’s Office and spent three terms in the Virginia House of Delegates.
