Meet Karen Jones
Candidate for 3rd District Supervisor Has Skin in the Race
My mother, Karen Jones, is laying all of her cards on the table as she runs for 3rd District Supervisor. It’s not because she has nothing to lose. On the contrary, she has everything to lose and everything to gain if she can persevere through the public scrutiny of running for political office. I admire her bravery and passion. It is a much easier path to just be a spectator, pass judgment, cast a vote, and then complain about the outcome.
Karen Jones is self-funded and self-aware. She cannot be bought by special interest groups because she is an independent individual who is here to take on the fight for each individual constituent.
It is true that she has never been elected to office, but this does not mean that she is without leadership experience or without knowledge of the world of politics. She has followed local and national politics her entire life as if she were following a sports team. Starting at a young age, my two older brothers and I would accompany our mother to political debates, rallies, parades, and protests and to walk precincts. This taught me about the power of “we the people” and that it is up to the individuals of a populace to have their voices heard and make a difference.
