End Citizens United (ECU), one of the nation’s leading anti-corruption organizations, today endorsed Jay Jones for Virginia Attorney General. As a lifelong resident of Virginia, Jones has been deeply committed to public service and spent his career fighting for Virginia families.

“Jay Jones will bring new leadership to the Attorney General’s office, one focused on protecting civil rights and holding corporate rulebreakers accountable when they raise prices on Virginians in the pursuit of higher profits,” said End Citizens United President Tiffany Muller. “As Republicans in DC and across the country continue their coordinated attack on our democracy and the right to vote, we need pro-democracy, anti-corruption champions like Jones who will stand up for families and fight back. End Citizens United is proud to endorse him, and we look forward to helping him win.”

“I’m running for Attorney General because I believe in transparency and accountability for all – and that’s also why I’m proud to be endorsed by End Citizens United,” said Jay Jones. “As Attorney General, I’ll restore the office to what it should be – a watchdog for Virginians, not a weapon for political games. Together, we will lead the fight for a fairer, safer, and more just Virginia that truly represents the will of the people.”

During his time as Assistant Attorney General, Jay Jones sued corporate special interests to prevent price gouging at the grocery store and took on big banks when they harmed families in the state. As Attorney General, Jones will ensure Virginia will no longer be left unprotected when the Trump administration attacks Virginia communities, jobs, and voting rights. He will make protecting civil rights a priority by creating a Voter Protection Unit to ensure fair and free access to the ballot box.
