DCCC announces another run for Gina Ortiz Jones

March 6, 2019

Washington, D.C. resident and failed congressional candidate Gina Ortiz Jones is so beloved by the Democrat establishment that the DCCC is now acting as her campaign, announcing she will give it another go in 2020.

In case you forgot about Jones since she left Texas four months ago, here’s what national Democrats will try to sell Texans:

  • Jones is a Washington, D.C. resident and owns a condo worth nearly $400,000 in the District’s luxurious Southwest Waterfront neighborhood.
  • Before moving back in with her mother to run for Congress, Jones had not lived in Texas since 2008. (The Texas Tribune, 8/2/18; The Huffington Post, 1/5/18)
  • Jones is a vocal proponent of closing U.S. military bases, telling the San Antonio Express-News she supports “the idea of another round of BRAC.” (San Antonio Express-News, 2/21/18)
  • Jones supports the socialist Democrats’ radical $32 trillion “Medicare for all” single-payer health care plan. (“Accessible Affordable Health Care,” Gina Ortiz Jones For Congress; Gina Ortiz Jones, Remarks At A Democratic Forum For TX-23 Forum, 2/27/18) Minute 30:09 – 30:18

NRCC Comment: “Texans rejected D.C. native Gina Ortiz Jones and her extreme, socialist ideas like Medicare for all in 2018 and will do so again in 2020.” – NRCC Spokesman Bob Salera
