Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

I'm Christopher Jones and I am a candidate for West Virginia House of Delegates, District 10, running on a platform focused on working families and practical solutions. I support stronger public education, pro-union policies, and protecting access to healthcare, including reproductive care. I also take a balanced approach to energy policy, supporting current jobs while planning responsibly for the future. My campaign emphasizes accountability, transparency, and making sure government decisions reflect the needs of everyday people in my community.

Please list below 3 key messages of your campaign. What are the main points you want voters to remember about your goals for your time in office?

I'll take a grounded, realistic approach to governing—supporting current energy jobs and local industries while planning responsibly for the future, instead of ignoring either side of that balance.Access, dignity, and accountability in government:

I emphasize protecting access to healthcare, including reproductive care, and ensuring government is transparent, accountable, and responsive to the people it serves—not special interests.

Strong public education funding. Labor rights and working-class economic security. Healthcare access and personal freedom. Energy policy with economic realism. Government accountability and transparency.

What characteristics or principles are most important for an elected official?

Accountability and transparency

What do you believe are the core responsibilities for someone elected to this office?

Representing their constituents honestly and consistently, writing and voting on legislation that improves people’s day-to-day lives, act as an accessible, trustworthy presence in the community, and listen well, act responsibly, and deliver practical results that make life better for the people you represent.

What legacy would you like to leave?

I want to be remembered as someone who stood up for working people and actually delivered—strengthening unions, protecting good-paying jobs, and making sure economic change didn’t come at the expense of the communities that built places like West Virginia.

Fully funding public schools and giving every kid a fair shot, not just in theory but in real classroom conditions—better resources, better support for teachers, and better outcomes.

Being a person that always advocated for expanding healthcare access and protecting personal freedoms, making sure people aren’t blocked from care—especially reproductive healthcare—and that dignity is part of the system, not an afterthought.

Most importantly, I want to be known as someone who was accessible, honest, and grounded—the kind of elected official who didn’t lose touch, didn’t overcomplicate things, and didn’t forget who put me here.

What was your very first job? How long did you have it?

Taco Bell. I held my position for about 6 months before I went to another company.

What is something that has been a struggle in your life?

One struggle I’ve dealt with is feeling like I don’t always belong in the rooms or around the people I find myself in, even when I’ve earned a place there. At times I’ve had to work through self-doubt and learn to trust that my voice and perspective have value, even when I’m still growing into them.

What was the first historical event that happened in your lifetime that you remember?

The first historical event I remember is the September 11 attacks, which showed me at a young age how quickly life can change and how deeply events can impact everyday people. It shaped my understanding of resilience, public service, and the importance of leadership during moments of crisis.
