JAMES FOR SC 31
Strong leadership. Real results. A campaign focused on safer communities, economic opportunity, and accountable government for the people of District 31.
I’m James A. Jones, and I’m running for South Carolina House District 31 because I believe our community deserves leadership that listens, works hard, and delivers results.
This campaign is about putting you first, supporting working families, strengthening public safety, and creating real opportunities for growth. District 31 is more than just a place, it’s our home, and I’m committed to fighting for it every day.
A message to District 31
WHY I’M RUNNING
I’m James A. Jones Sr. - a proud Spartanburg native, attorney, and former federal prosecutor with nearly three decades of experience serving our country and our community. Throughout my career, including my time as Deputy Chief Counsel at the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, I’ve worked on complex legal matters, represented the federal government in over 1,000 immigration hearings annually, and fought to uphold fairness, accountability, and justice.
But my work has never just been about the courtroom; it’s about people. Spartanburg raised me, and I’ve always believed in giving back. Whether it was helping coordinate food distribution during the COVID-19 pandemic or working alongside local organizations to expand access and opportunity, I’ve stayed committed to serving the community that shaped me.
That’s why I’m running for the South Carolina House of Representatives, District 31. I’ve launched my S.O.S. platform - Stimulating Opportunity for Spartanburg - because I hear the needs of our community, and I’m ready to act.
