State Representative Jolanda Jones energized Democrats across the country in the fight to stop the racist, unconstitutional plan by Donald Trump to steal five Congressional seats. Her interviews on broadcast and cable TV, in national and local newspapers, podcasts and streaming shows went viral, activating Democrats desperate for an unapologetic fighter.
Jolanda rose from a childhood of poverty and tragedy to the Academic American Hall of Fame, a 4-time national track and field champion, a basketball All-American, a Rhodes Scholar nominee, LGBTQ+ and civil rights activist, a successful businesswoman, author and an unapologetic human rights activist, and an 11-time elected official.
