The campaign for Democratic Virginia attorney general nominee Jay Jones announced he raised $500,000 in less than 24 hours after the attorney general debate Thursday, during which Jones’s texting scandal took center stage.

“In last night’s debate, [incumbent] Jason Miyares couldn’t defend the 50 times he’s failed to protect Virginians as Donald Trump has fired workers, raised costs, attacked abortion rights, and defunded our healthcare, schools, and law enforcement,” Jones’s campaign manager Rachel Rothman said in a press release.

With just 18 days left, our campaign is energized and focused. The enthusiasm we’re seeing across Virginia makes it clear: voters are ready to elect an Attorney General who will finally put them first,” Rothman said.

The haul comes as Jones has been under fire over recently surfaced texts that he sent in 2022 in which he jokes about wanting to shoot former state House Speaker Todd Gilbert (R).

1. Jay Jones' Texts

Okay, they were awful, especially in light of shootings in VA around that time. But... unlike Republicans, he manned up, accepted responsibility, and apologized.

I hope he turned the tables on Miyares for not condemning the January 6th assault on the Capitol.
