Jones, who has degrees in government, Native American studies and environmental law, said working in government has always been one of her goals. In addition to her role on the SAB, Jones is the founder and chair of the Kansas Democratic Party Native American Caucus, a coordinator with the League of Women Voters of Kansas, and a Kansas Association for Conservation and Environmental Education board member.
Jones, a citizen of the Prairie Band Potawatomi Nation, said that important issues for her include environmental justice, support for social service organizations and bringing underrepresented members of the community into politics.
