Conversation with Virginia Attorney General Jay Jones

Jay Jones

We sit down with Virginia Attorney General Jay Jones. Just over two months ago the job, Jones made history as Virginia’s first Black Attorney General — taking office at a moment when legal battles over consumer protection, public safety, civil rights, and the balance of power between states and Washington are intensifying. The Norfolk native, former House of Delegates member, and Assistant Attorney General now serves as the Commonwealth’s top lawyer — and says his focus is protecting Virginians and holding powerful interests accountable. We look ahead to his first 100 days in office — the priorities, the
challenges, and the direction he wants to take the Attorney General’s office.
