Statement from Mari Manoogian, Executive Director of The Next 50, on Jay Jones’ win in the Democratic Primary for Virginia Attorney General

For Immediate Release

The Next 50 is proud to congratulate Jay Jones on his hard-fought victory in the Democratic primary for Virginia Attorney General. Jay’s win represents exactly the kind of principled, next-generation leadership that Virginia needs, especially as we prepare to stand as a bulwark against the Trump administration’s agenda. We endorsed Jay because of his proven track record of fighting for our values in the General Assembly and his commitment to using the attorney general’s office to protect reproductive rights, defend democracy, and ensure equal justice under law. Last night’s victory sets the stage for November, when Virginia voters will have a clear choice between Jay’s vision for moving Virginia forward and the status quo. We’re excited to continue supporting Jay as he takes this fight to Jason Miyares and works to become Virginia’s next Attorney General.
