Jay Jones wins Democratic nomination for Virginia attorney general
VIRGINIA, UNITED STATES, JUN 18 – Jay Jones won the Democratic nomination by securing 51% of votes in a close primary and will challenge incumbent Republican Jason Miyares in November’s attorney general race.
- Jay Jones secured the Democratic Party’s endorsement to run for Virginia attorney general and will challenge the current Republican officeholder, Jason Miyares, in the general election scheduled for November 4, 2025.
- Jones secured the nomination after narrowly defeating Shannon Taylor, following a hard-fought primary influenced by competing roles of Dominion Energy and Clean Virginia.
- Jones campaigns on a progressive platform centered on defending voting rights, protecting families from extreme agendas, and pushing back against corporate overreach, contrasting Miyares' focus on consumer protection and law enforcement.
- Miyares entered the general election with $2.3 million in campaign funds while Jones works to rebuild his war chest after a costly primary, with both candidates releasing statements on social media about readiness to fight.
