Reproductive Freedom for All Celebrates Jay Jones’ Victory in Virginia Attorney General’s Race
Washington, DC — Today, Virginia voters elected Jay Jones as the commonwealth’s next attorney general. He will be making history as Virginia’s first Black attorney general. Since the fall of Roe v. Wade, abortion access has been decimated in Southern states, leaving Virginia as the only safe haven for people seeking abortion care.
Reproductive Freedom for All President and CEO Mini Timmaraju released the following statement:
“This is a historic victory for Jay Jones, who just became the first Black attorney general of Virginia. Attorneys general are a critical line of defense against the Trump administration to safeguard our reproductive freedom while Republicans are trying to ban abortion nationwide. We mobilized our Virginia members to make phone calls, knock doors, and send texts and help secure this win, and we are ready to continue to fight side-by-side to protect our rights.”
Virginia’s 2025 election is a bellwether for the future of reproductive freedom in states across the country heading into 2026. Reproductive Freedom for All spent $1 million on the “Your Vote, Your Freedom” campaign in Virginia, including:
● Running ads in partnership with Planned Parenthood Virginia PAC and Vote Pro-Choice highlighting Miyares’ extreme record on reproductive rights and warning Virginians about the dangers of giving him a second term
● Launching a six-figure paid canvass operation to engage and mobilize key voters
● Knocking on 36,500 doors, making 12,000 calls, and sending thousands of texts, as well as partnering with the Virginia Coordinated Campaign on multiple Northern Virginia canvasses
● Organizing multiple events, educating our 112,000 members in Virginia about what’s at stake, including a campus program at our Virginia Tech chapter to turn out the vote
