With Oregon's Future at Stake, Meet Brittany Jones (Ep. 320)

from Voices for Voices® · host Founder of Voices for Voices®, Justin Alan Hayes

With Oregon's Future at Stake, Meet Brittany Jones (Ep. 320)What drives a human trafficking survivor to run for governor? Brittany "BJ" Jones reveals her remarkable journey from military service to gubernatorial candidate in a compelling conversation that showcases her passionate vision for Oregon's future.Jones, who describes herself as an Oregon native with Patawomeck indigenous heritage, shares how her political awakening came gradually. "When Trump started running for office, it really opened my eyes," she explains, noting that if someone like him could seek high office, citizens needed to pay closer attention to politics. This realization propelled her from a political newcomer to a determined candidate with a clear mission: protecting children's futures.At the heart of Jones's platform lies a multifaceted approach to child welfare that encompasses school safety, mental health resources, environmental stewardship, and creating safe spaces for all children to express their identities. She speaks with particular urgency about gun violence in schools and the importance of following indigenous leadership in environmental protection. "Our children deserve to have clean water to play in and drink, and forests to be able to explore," she emphasizes, connecting personal parenting experiences to broader policy goals.Perhaps most surprising is Jones's revelation that she identifies as an introvert who prefers "to just be in my corner with my books and candles." Her candid discussion about navigating campaign life despite this temperament offers a refreshing glimpse into the human side of political candidacy. Running a grassroots campaign while working as a DoorDash driver to maintain flexibility for campaign activities, Jones embodies an authentic approach to politics that contrasts sharply with more polished, established candidates.Discover how Jones plans to bring meaningful change to Oregon by following her campaign on social media (Facebook: Jones for Governor 2026, TikTok: BJ for Oregon, Instagram: Jones4Governor2026) or through her website. Her story reminds us that political leadership can emerge from unexpected places when driven by genuine passion for creating a better future.Chapter Markers0:00 Welcome and Introduction7:36 Oregon Background and Indigenous Heritage13:41 Journey into Politics and Future Goals19:04 Protecting Children's Future23:35 Indigenous Support and Campaign Process28:45 Running as an Introvert24:11 Day in the Life of a Candidate#OregonFuture #BrittanyJones #PoliticalChange #OregonElections #MeetTheCandidate #VoteSmartOregon #CommunityLeader #SustainableOregon #EmpowermentInPolitics #FutureOfOregon #LocalVoicesMatter #CivicEngagement #ProgressiveLeadership #EnvironmentalPolicyOR #GrassrootsMovement #justiceforsurvivors #justice4survivors #VoicesforVoices #VoicesforVoicesPodcast #JustinAlanHayes #JustinHayes #help3billion #TikTok #Instagram #truth #factoverfictionmatters #transparency #VoiceForChange #HealingTogether #VoicesForVoices320Support the show
