Good ad by Jay Jones – see below. But more importantly is that Jones is up on the air, and presumably has the resources to stay up on the air (as of March 31, he had $1.5 million cash on hand), while his rival (Shannon Taylor, with just $666k cash on hand as of March 31) for the 2025 Virginia Democratic Attorney General nomination probably does NOT have the money to do this. We’ll see, but for now – advantage Jones.

Jay Jones Releases First Ad of Attorney General Race

“Battlefield” will air across the Richmond, Norfolk, Roanoke, and Washington, DC media markets

Norfolk, VA — Today, Jay Jones for Attorney General released its first ad of the campaign, entitled “Battlefield.” “Battlefield” will run on television and digital platforms across Virginia as part of a six-figure buy. This ad is the first in the Democratic primary for Virginia Attorney General.

“Battlefield” highlights Jones’ experience as a legislator, Assistant Attorney General, and litigator taking on the Youngkin Administration.

“I’m proud to launch our first TV ad of the cycle—a reflection of the values that drive this campaign: justice, fairness, and a commitment to putting people first,” said Jay Jones. “As Attorney General, I’ll fight every day to protect Virginians’ rights, stand up for working families, and ensure equal justice under the law.”

SCRIPT FOR “BATTLEFIELD”

JAY JONES: Courtrooms have become the battlefield as Trump and Musk attack our rights.

I’m Jay Jones.

As a lawmaker, I protected abortion rights.

As an Assistant Attorney General, I took on big corporations.

And I sued Glenn Youngkin to defend voting rights.

As Attorney General, I’ll fight Trump and Musk in court.

Because our rights – our democracy – depends on it.

[To his family] How’d I do?

CHARLES JONES: Good job, Daddy!
