Clean Virginia Endorses Jay Jones for Attorney General
Charlottesville, VA – Clean Virginia announced today its endorsement of Jay Jones to serve as the next Attorney General of Virginia ahead of the 2025 election.
“I am honored to have the endorsement of Clean Virginia as I continue to fight for a more just and accountable Virginia,” said Jay Jones. “As Attorney General, I will work tirelessly to protect families and businesses from unfair utility practices, hold corporate interests accountable and lead Virginia toward a cleaner, more affordable energy future. We deserve a justice system that puts people first, and I will always stand up for the needs of Virginia families.”
“Jay Jones has consistently demonstrated the leadership and integrity needed to ensure Virginia’s future is rooted in fairness, accountability and clean, affordable energy,” said Brennan Gilmore, Clean Virginia’s Executive Director. “As Attorney General, Jay will stand up to corporate interests and fight for the rights of Virginians across the Commonwealth. Clean Virginia is proud to support Jay in this critical race, and we know he will be a powerful advocate for all Virginians.”
As a Delegate, Jay Jones introduced legislation to return hundreds of millions of dollars in overcharges by Dominion Energy to Virginia families and businesses and worked to expand rooftop solar access for low-income communities. As Attorney General, Jay will continue to lead Virginia toward a fair and affordable energy future.
Clean Virginia endorses statewide candidates based on a variety of criteria, including responses to a candidate questionnaire, public statements and legislative records (for incumbents). All Clean Virginia-endorsed candidates share a principled and public commitment against accepting contributions from and owning stock in Virginia’s regulated electric utility monopolies, Dominion Energy and Appalachian Power Company.
