The campaign for Jay Jones says that he raised over $925K as he seeks the Democratic nomination for attorney general this year.
This brings his total raised for the campaign to more than $1.8 million.
His campaign says he will report having $1.5 million cash on hand.
“As Donald Trump and Elon Musk attack our wallets and our rights, Jason Miyares is carrying out their agenda in Virginia,” Jones said in the announcement. “But Virginians are stepping up to join our fight to stop them.”
His opponent for the Democratic nomination, Henrico Commonwealth Attorney Shannon Taylor, announced last week that she raised $525,000 during the first quarter and has around $660,000 cash on hand.
Jones ran for attorney general in 2021 against two-term Democratic incumbent Mark Herring. Herring won, but Jones surprised many by raising more than $2 million.
Jones and Taylor are competing for the opportunity to face Attorney General Jason Miyares, who is seeking reelection to a second term in November.
