Dr. Chris Jones grew up in Pine Bluff, Arkansas. A son of two preachers, Chris was raised with a strong sense of faith. For Chris, his faith never collided with his love for science — in fact, it only made it grow stronger. He attended Morehouse College on a NASA Scholarship, for physics and math, then went on to study at MIT becoming a nuclear engineer and earning a Ph.D. in urban planning. After becoming ordained as a minister, Chris returned home to Arkansas and led the Arkansas Regional Innovation Hub. Through this work, he has seen firsthand how disparities within Arkansas have gotten worse, not better. He believes there is much room for growth, including improving public education opportunities in every community, strengthening infrastructure from roads to broadband access, protecting and securing our right to vote, and bridging the rural and urban divide. Chris has faith in Arkansas’s potential, and he’s running for governor to ensure every person in Arkansas has an opportunity to succeed.
My experience with Arkansas schools — both as a student and a parent — is that they're supported by engaged families who want the best for their kids and filled with hardworking professionals who care deeply about educating all students.
Spend one day campaigning in Arkansas and I promise you won't hear a single word about the “War on Christmas.”
If we want more folks to vote, we need to encourage more young folks to get involved. Teaching civics, volunteering as a family, taking your kids into the voting booth; these small steps will do BIG things for our democracy.
