Today, I was sworn in as the 49th Attorney General of the Commonwealth of Virginia, wearing my late fathers cuff links, pinned on me by my mother.

Thank you, Virginia. It is the honor of a lifetime to be your next Attorney General. I will never stop fighting for you.

Today is the day! Proud to cast my vote for our Democratic ticket. I’m grateful for everyone who has stood with us in the fight for progress, opportunity, and safety for all. Let’s make history, Virginia.

Norfolk is ready to deliver and keep Virginia blue. @KamalaHarris reminded us all why voting is critical and why we’ve got to elect @TerryMcAuliffe because our values, dreams, and ideals are on the line. Let’s get out the vote and bring this home!

This race will decide whether we have an Attorney General who defends our freedoms, protects our democracy, and prioritizes the needs of Virginians – or one who takes directives from Donald Trump. The stakes couldn’t be higher.

Virginia is beautiful for so many reasons, but today I’m grateful for the fact that four years from today someone else is constitutionally mandated to be sworn in as governor. It’ll be a long road but that’s something to look forward to.

We’re becoming “Jones, party of 3” this summer and we couldn’t be more excited!

I am relieved that no one was hurt in the fire on Lt. Governor Earle-Sears' campaign bus today. Hoping everyone is staying safe and taking care after such a frightening experience.

You have my word that I will always take accountability for my mistakes. I will never stop fighting for you. Jason Miyares wants to make this election about me and my mistakes. This election has always been about you and protecting Virginia from Trump. The stakes are too high.

Jason Miyares is too afraid and too weak to stand up to Donald Trump. I cannot wait to see Donald Trump in court to protect Virginia, put us first, and get what we deserve.

For all that is holy can you apologize to @ethanclynne? This isn't that - please live the deeply religious values you profess and say I'm sorry to a high school student. It isn't that hard.

On Saturday night, an unauthorized tweet came from a campaign account. I regret that this happened and it shouldn’t have. I have addressed it with my team. We must continue to work to bring Virginians together. There is so much more that unites us than divides us.

“Hello, world.” Charles Edward Jerrauld Jones joined us early in the morning on June 1st. He’s joyous, loved near and far, and is quite charming. Thanks to everyone for your well wishes and support - we’re so appreciative! And he’s already looking forward to voting in 2040!

As the father of two young boys, I know what it’s like to feel the squeeze of grocery prices every week. I’m running for Attorney General to protect families’ pocketbooks from rising costs – whether it’s utility rate hikes or the price of berries.
