From the 2014 Legislative Session

As the Speaker of the House of Representatives Rep. Jones is one of the most powerful individuals in the state of Missouri. He enjoys great authority in determining the outcome of public policy. In his current role he is one of the most heavily lobbied individuals in the legislature, but he is a professional whose focus seems to be on public service.

Rep. Jones is publicly mulling a run for statewide office in 2016. He is currently term limited and leaving public office at the end of this year.

He is a frequent guest host for conservative talk radio and enjoys the reputation of being a principled conservative.

Rep. Jones opened the 2014 legislative session trumpeting the need for Right-to-Work legislation. He was a tireless champion for worker freedom and a voice for individual liberty. In the end not even the power of his gavel could overcome the internal division and caucus politics that scuttled Right-to-Work. That did not stop him from upholding his principled stand and aggressively fighting for it until the end. He never wavered.

Rep. Jones voted opposite of our recommendation three times during session and once during the December special session. The votes that he maintained a position opposite of ours are: SB1 from special session in December 2013; SB723; HB1495; and HB1501 during the regular session 2014.
