Jay Jones (D) defeated incumbentJason Miyares (R) in the general election forattorney general of Virginia on November 4, 2025.
Ahead of the election,AP's Olivia Diaz wrote that Virginia's odd-year elections were "seen as referendums on the party in power before Congress heads into midterm elections. ... Democrats’ hold on Virginia has slipped in recent years, moving it close to swing-state status nationally. Republican Gov. Glenn Youngkin beat former Gov. Terry McAuliffe in 2021. Still, Democrats have history on their side: The party of the sitting president typically suffers defeat in Virginia’s statewide races. And considering Trump has never won the state, Democrats are probably better positioned to make gains."[1]
On October 3, 2025, theNational Review published a story in which it included a text exchange between Jones and DelegateCarrie Coyner (R) from August of 2022. In the messages, Jones criticized then-House SpeakerTodd Gilbert's (R) public statements following the death of former Del.Joe Johnson (D). To learn moreclick here.
Before the text message story broke, Jones and Democratic gubernatorial candidateAbigail Spanberger led their Republican opponents in most polls.[2] A Wason Center poll, conducted in late October, showed "Spanberger leading Republican Winsome Earle-Sears by seven points ... [while] Miyares holds a 1-point lead over Democrat Jay Jones. ... 75% of Virginia likely voters have heard about Jay Jones’s 2022 text message scandal, and over half say it makes them less likely to support him."[3]
In an episode of Ballotpedia'sOn the Ballot,Virginia Scope's Brandon Jarvis raised the possibility ofticket splitting: "So Jay's losing in most polls or tied. So that's going to be the big question and the big test on ticket splitting and how much do people vote just on is it a D or an R. And I think it'll be a good gage on ticket splitting here in Virginia and across America, honestly. Like what is the point that will push the Democratic voter from not supporting a Democrat or a Republican?"[4] Virginia last had a split ticket in 2005, whenTim Kaine (D) was elected governor andBill Bolling (R) was elected lieutenant governor.[5]
Jones was an assistant attorney general in the Office of the Attorney General for the District of Columbia and represented the89th District in the Virginia House of Delegates from 2018 to 2021. Jones said he ran "to protect Virginia families — from crime and violence, corporate price gouging, and politicians with extreme agendas attacking our rights and Virginia workers."[6] As an assistant attorney general in Washington D.C., Jones said he "took on the gun lobby to keep families safe from violent crime, sued corporate special interests to prevent higher grocery prices, and went after big banks and slumlords preying on consumers."[6] According to campaign finance reporting through October 23, 2025, Jones had raised $14.2 million and had $685,000 in cash on hand.[7] According to theVirginia Public Access Project, Jones' top donor was theDemocratic Attorneys General Association, which had donated $3.1 million through September 30, 2025.[8]
Miyares was elected attorney general in 2021. Jarvis said, "Miyares argues that Virginia is safer today than it was when he took office, pointing to declines in murder and overdose rates as the centerpiece of his reelection pitch to voters."[9] Miyares said he "secured over $1 billion in opioid settlements" and "launched Operation Ceasefire ... a multifaceted approach to fighting violent crime by focusing on violence intervention in communities and aggressive prosecution of violent gun crimes."[10] According to campaign finance reporting through October 23, 2025, Miyares had raised $25.3 million and had $2.5 million in cash on hand.[7] According to theVirginia Public Access Project, Miyares' top donor was theRepublican Attorneys General Association, which had donated $6.9 million through September 30, 2025.[11]
As a result of this election, and the state'sgubernatorial election, in whichAbigail Spanberger (D) defeatedWinsome Earle-Sears (R), Democrats gainedtriplex status in Virginia. A triplex is when one political party holds the governor, attorney general, and secretary of state offices. In Virginia, the governor appoints thesecretary of the commonwealth.
Virginia switched from a Democratic to a Republican triplex following the2021 elections of Youngkin and Miyares. Youngkin appointedKay Coles James (R) secretary of the commonwealth when he took office in 2022.
Jay Jones won election in the general election for Attorney General of Virginia.

If re-elected, Miyares said he would continue prioritizing victims and expand Operation Ceasefire, a program with "a multifaceted approach to fighting violent crime by focusing on violence intervention in communities and aggressive prosecution of violent gun crimes."
Miyares said he successfully took on corporations as attorney general. He cited securing "'over $1.3 billion from opioid manufacturers and distributors,' ... an $80 million settlement with Monsanto over PCB pollution, ... $1.3 million paid over unlawfully withheld [Washington Commanders] ticket deposits ... [and] 'the largest housing discrimination verdict in Virginia’s history — $750,000 to two families evicted because one member was Black.'"
In an interview withVirginia Scope, Miyares said, "Virginians’ safety has been my mission from day one. ... We went from having a 20-year high in the murder rate to now it’s dropped by a third. And in our 13 targeted ceasefire cities, the murder rates dropped 66%. We went from having a record level of addiction deaths to the top state in the entire country in reduction of addiction deaths — 48% reduction in fentanyl deaths, over 40% reduction in overdoses overall — and the national average is in the 20s."

As Attorney General, I will always put the well being of Virginia first and never stay silent out of party loyalty so we can best protect Virginia families and communities."
In an interview withVPM News, Jones said, "I can't wait to build out the office and really fully staff up the consumer protection unit to go after the price gougers — the pharmaceutical companies who are inflating prices and making it hard for people to obtain their prescription drugs ... the corporate landlords who are making it impossible for people to put a roof over their head."

Noteworthy events
Release of text messages between Jones and Del.Carrie Coyner (R)
On October 3, 2025, theNational Review published a story that included a text exchange between Jones and DelegateCarrie Coyner (R) from August 2022. In the messages, Jones criticized then-House SpeakerTodd Gilbert's (R) public statements following the death of former Del.Joe Johnson (D). Jones then joked about what Gilbert would say of him if he died. The following messages included: "If those guys die before me. I will go to their funerals to piss on their graves. Send them out awash in something. ... Three people, two bullets ... put Gilbert in the crew with the two worst people you know [Adolf Hitler and Pol Pot] and he receives both bullets every time."[15]
Jones responded to the news story, saying, "Reading back those words made me sick to my stomach. I am embarrassed, ashamed and sorry. I have reached out to Speaker Gilbert to apologize directly to him, his wife Jennifer, and their children. I cannot take back what I said; I can only take full accountability and offer my sincere apology."[16]
As of October 6, 2025, Virginia's Democrats had condemned Jones' remarks but had not called for his withdrawal from the attorney general race. Democratic gubernatorial candidateAbigail Spanberger said, "I made clear to Jay that he must fully take responsibility for his words. As a candidate — and as the next governor of our commonwealth — I will always condemn violent language in our politics."[17]
Republican gubernatorial candidateWinsome Earle-Sears said, "Jay Jones is the poster child for the Democrat establishment and he fantasizes about murdered little children laying lifeless in their mother’s arms. My opponent Abigail Spanberger urges her supporters to fill their hearts with violent hate. 'Let your rage fuel you,' she says. Words have meaning."[17]
Miyares said, "The attorney general is the chief law enforcement officer of Virginia. It must be done with character and integrity. Jay Jones has proven he is reckless, biased, and willing to trade away his integrity. This conduct is disqualifying."[17] On October 5, 2025, PresidentDonald Trump (R) endorsed Miyares.[17]
