Affordability & Opportunities For Young Families

Candidate position
FactVote summary · Issue Assessment

Argues that housing, food, insurance, and other living costs are pushing working families into increasingly difficult tradeoffs.

  • Growing food-insecurity demand and household cost pressures in the district are presented as evidence of the affordability problem.
Read exact supporting textExact evidence retained

The text below is the exact source material used for this statement.

At Macedonia Church in Daphne, we see the food line get longer every month. That's happening right here in our community, in a place we wouldn't associate with food insecurity. The cost of living the every day Americans has gotten out of control.

Restoration Of Checks And Balances

Candidate position
FactVote summary · Policy

Restore Congress's checking role against executive power and make representation less party-driven.

  • Reassert Congress's constitutional role; resist governance primarily by executive order; improve transparency; represent constituents beyond party lines.

The text below is the exact source material used for this statement.

We need representatives who will make sure your voice is heard every single day, and will represent their constituents beyond party lines.

Get Money Out Of Politics

Candidate position
FactVote summary · Policy

Reduce financial conflicts of interest and large-money influence in federal politics.

  • Support overturning Citizens United; oppose corporate-PAC influence; ban individual-stock trading by members of Congress and immediate family. Jones has also publicly supported term limits and stronger ethics restrictions.
Read exact supporting textExact evidence retained

The text below is the exact source material used for this statement.

In Congress I'll advocate and vote for a ban on stock trading for members and their immediate families. Too many members of the House go in making a 6 figure salary, and walk away a few years later as millionaires. These representatives pass legislation that's more beneficial to their donors than constituents.

AI Regulation & Data Centers

Candidate position
FactVote summary · Policy

Place stronger environmental and community safeguards on data-center development.

  • Protect Alabama's water, power grid, jobs, and quality of life; pause new data-center development until environmental impacts and community protections are addressed.
Read exact supporting textExact evidence retained

The text below is the exact source material used for this statement.

Alabama is one of the most biodiverse states in the nation, and we have to fight for it. We can't compromise our water, power grid or quality of life for people all over the state.

Workers Rights

Candidate position
FactVote summary · Goal / Priority

Protect workers' ability to organize and strengthen basic labor protections.

  • Support the right to unionize and preserve workplace protections such as the 40-hour week, overtime pay, and paid leave.
Read exact supporting textExact evidence retained

The text below is the exact source material used for this statement.

In Congress, I'll protect right to Unionize, that Alabama tries hard to fight. If it weren't for unions, we wouldn't have 40-hour work weeks, overtime pay, or paid leave- many of the things we expect as workers today.

Healthcare — Less culture wars, and more common ground.

Candidate position
FactVote summary · Policy

Close Alabama's health-coverage gap and protect affordable coverage while improving the existing healthcare system.

  • Support Medicaid expansion or other coverage-gap solutions, protect Affordable Care Act affordability, and allow federal action when a state declines coverage expansion while broader reforms are developed.

The text below is the exact source material used for this statement.

Care Act. That refusal has cost real money on top of real coverage: expanding would

bring an estimated $4 billion in additional federal Medicaid dollars into a state that's

Immigration Reform

Candidate position
FactVote summary · Policy

Combine border security and criminal enforcement with protections for law-abiding immigrants and changes to current enforcement practices.

  • Support secure borders and criminal enforcement while opposing enforcement quotas that sweep in law-abiding immigrants; pursue humane, lawful immigration reform.
Read exact supporting textExact evidence retained

The text below is the exact source material used for this statement.

Secure borders are necessary, but ICE has gotten out of control. While it's important to hold criminals accountable, law abiding immigrants shouldn't be caught in the crosshairs to hit a quota.
