MAGA Republicans broke it.
Together, we can fix it.
- State Representative Jolanda Jones
I'm in.
Please support my campaign for Congress.
June 5, 2025 – It’s incredibly humbling to know that the next representative from CD-18 will stand on the shoulders of Sylvester Turner, Sheila Jackson Lee, Craig Washington, Mickey Leland, and Barbara Jordan. I take that very seriously.
I also take my duties to my constituents in House District 147 very seriously. That’s why I deferred my decision about running for Congress until today. I promised my constituents I would fight for them every day through the end of the legislative session – and I did exactly that.
After much encouragement and serious consideration, I have decided today to become a candidate for Congress in the historic 18th district.
The simple fact is no one will fight harder to stop Republicans from taking away our social security, our public schools, our health care, our constitutional rights, and more.
I am the only candidate in this race who has fought for our families in the legislature, in the courtroom, on city council, and on the school board. I helped shut down Houston’s corrupt crime lab, helped extend Medicaid coverage for new mothers and their babies, and cut taxes for seniors and homeowners.
In Congress, I will fight to stop Trump cuts to healthcare and Medicaid, Social Security, education, and veterans. I’ll fight to lower the cost of prescription drugs, expand coverage for mental health care and substance abuse – and make healthcare more affordable and accessible for all of us.
I’ve been fighting my entire career for women’s rights, bodies, and voices, and will never stop working to restore abortion rights to make sure women — not politicians — make their own healthcare decisions.
Everywhere I go, people ask why Democrats aren’t fighting harder. Join me – and together, let’s show them exactly how to fight Donald Trump.
Jolanda Jones knows Texas belongs to us – all of us.
The MAGA Republicans in charge have broken health care and public education. They’ve cut the funding that pays to keep us safe from crime – and then lied about it. They’ve made a mess of the economy and made corporations and campaign contributors even richer. They’ve tried to rewrite Black history and tear apart LGBTQ+ families. They can’t even keep the lights on when it freezes.
Republicans may have broken our government but they can’t break Jolanda Jones. Authentic and unafraid, Jolanda will never give up, never give in, and never stop fighting for Texas.
Jolanda rose from a childhood of poverty to the Academic All American Hall of Fame, a successful career as an attorney reforming our criminal justice system, and a life of service as a successful city council member, school board member, Democratic Party leader and devoted mom.
Today, Jolanda is the state representative for the historic Texas House District 147. She is our champion for affordable health care – including abortion care – better jobs, safer streets and stronger schools. Jolanda is fighting every day to keep our families safe – not just from crime, but also from the politicians in Austin whose first priority is re-electing Donald Trump.
Jolanda Jones won three national college championships to break Olympic champion Jackie Joyner Kersee's record of two NCAA titles and become the top-rated U.S. heptathlete. Now Jolanda is carrying the torch to Austin to be a champion for affordable health care, better jobs, safer streets and stronger schools – for all of us.
