Chris Jones: Affordability & Accountability for All

Marcus and Madeline are talking to one of the most compelling candidates in the country, Chris Jones, who’s running to flip Arkansas’s 2nd Congressional District against six-term incumbent French Hill.Chris’s résumé is almost hard to believe: BS in physics and mathematics from Morehouse, MS in nuclear engineering from MIT, PhD in urban planning also from MIT, NASA physicist, nonprofit leader, and ordained minister. But as he makes clear, none of that is the point — the point is that he’s a seventh-generation Arkansan who grew up believing that serving people and solving problems are the same thing.Marcus and Madeline dig into what his 2022 governor’s race taught him about Arkansas and its people — including why he intentionally walked a mile at sundown through a former sundown town — and how that experience shapes the way he’s running now. They talk about the deliberate cracking of Little Rock’s district to protect French Hill, why that same banker just voted to raise overdraft fees on constituents who can barely make ends meet, and why Chris is already up three points in the polls.The conversation goes deep on faith, leadership, and bridge-building — how you actually reach Republican voters without asking them to abandon their values, why genuine empathy beats partisan messaging every time, and what it means to show up for everyone in your district, MAGA voters included.Chris’s campaign platform is simple: AAA — Affordability and Accountability for All.
