Vernon Jones Launches Congressional Bid, With Trump Endorsement
February 10, 2022 | Georgia
Former Georgia Rep. Vernon Jones is running for an open congressional seat and has received an endorsement from former President Donald Trump.
Two days after dropping out of the Georgia gubernatorial race, Jones, 61, announced that he’s vying to represent the state’s 10th Congressional District in the House of Representatives.
Rep. Jody Hice (R-Ga.), who currently represents the district, is challenging Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger.
“When it comes to Georgia’s 10th Congressional District, I have only one choice. And the man’s name is Vernon Jones,” Trump said in a video released by Jones’s campaign.
Trump described the ex-Democrat as “an America first fighter who will never back down to either the establishment or the radical left.”..(Excerpt from the Epoch Times)
