French Hill has shown us he isn't going to bring the change Arkansas needs. This time we do need a rocket scientist. 🚀

I don't just talk kitchen-table issues - I build a better table, and I'll be sitting there with you.

Chris Jones @jonesforar.bsky.social · 1d

Let's not sugarcoat it. French Hill has failed us over and over again. Arkansas gave him a chance. Now it's about time for change. Share this if you're ready to shake things up.

I'm running because Arkansas deserves a bigger table of opportunity.

That table rests on 4 legs of opportunity:
– Justice
– Economy
– Democracy
– Innovation

I'm a builder. Let's build a better Arkansas together. Pull up a chair and join us ➡️ chrisjonesforcongress.com

Arkansas, I'm proud to announce I am running for Congress in the 2nd District. For too long, politicians have played photo-op bingo and left working families trying to make a dollar out of fifteen cents. That ends today. I'm building the Next Arkansas where no one is left behind.

What if you could afford housing, pay for groceries, and know your job would reward your hard work? That's the Arkansas I BELIEVE we deserve. Let's get it. Pass it on.

Chris Jones @jonesforar.bsky.social · 2d

I BELIEVE Arkansas can be a place where every family can thrive—that's an Arkansas with a strong economy, real job growth, accessible hospitals, safe communities, high quality health care, and leaders they can trust.

This #DVAM, Arkansas shelters are losing funding & survivors are being left with nowhere to turn.

In 2024, 42 Arkansans were killed by domestic violence. Without support, that number will rise.

Domestic violence is not an afterthought. Our leaders must stand with survivors. 💜

Chris Jones @jonesforar.bsky.social · 7d

They are really doing this.

Meanwhile, if you’re in Arkansas can you afford groceries? Can your kid find a job?

The federal government officially shut down Wednesday at midnight after Congress failed to reach an agreement on a funding bill. Nationwide, federal employees have been furloughed without pay. But what does that mean for Arkansans? Here's what we know.

Yom Kippur is the holiest day for those in the Jewish community. From sunset on October 1 through nightfall on October 2, those of Jewish faith will abstain from food and drink.

May you be blessed in the Book of Life.

My prayers this morning go out to all those directly and indirectly impacted by this shutdown.

Congressman French Hill knows exactly what he’s doing. That’s why it’s time to unseat him.

Today, on the heels of a shutdown, Congressman French Hill was at the Little Rock Rotary Club meeting having lunch rather than being in Washington to try to solve any problems.

Chris Jones @jonesforar.bsky.social · 10d

Congress is stumbling toward another shutdown — and Arkansans are paying the price. This dysfunction is a threat to our democracy. It’s time for change.

Hispanic Heritage Month (Sept 15–Oct 15) is a time to honor the rich histories, cultures, and contributions of Hispanic Americans. Let’s take time to learn more about the shared histories and contributions of Hispanic communities while looking to the future to inspire progress and innovation.

68 years ago, 9 Black students in LR showed extraordinary courage as they walked into Central High School. Their bravery not only changed Arkansas, it changed America. As a Black man from Arkansas, I carry their legacy with me every day. We honor the LR9 as the fight for equality is not over.
