Democratic Virginia gubernatorial candidate Abigail Spanberger hasn’t said whether she’ll back attorney general hopeful Jay Jones — but her campaign shop still does.
Spanberger’s official website continues to sell merchandise with both her and Jones’s names, even after a scandal engulfed the down-ballot Democrat. The shop lists items including a $10 bumper sticker and a $25 T-shirt featuring the slogan “Spanberger, Hashimi & Jones,” each labeled “Paid for by Spanberger for Governor.” (RELATED: Your Democrat Neighbors Share Jay Jones’ Fantasies Of Political Violence)
The same joint logo appears on campaign signs across the state, promoting all three Democrats running atop Virginia’s 2025 ticket.
The question as to whether Abigail Spanberger still plans to endorse Jay Jones…
Here’s your answer. Yes. Still on the website.

Jones, now mired in contention, first drew scrutiny over a 2022 reckless driving charge that he parlayed into political capital by completing his court-ordered community service through his own political action committee, Meet Our Moment (MOM). Though MOM is registered with the Virginia Board of Elections, it is not recognized as a nonprofit — raising questions about whether Jones violated the legal requirements of his sentence.

Jones later faced renewed backlash over 2022 text messages to Republican Delegate Carrie Coyner, in which he said he would give former House Speaker Todd Gilbert “two bullets to the head” and urinate on his grave.
Coyner also claimed that, during a 2020 call, Jones suggested the deaths of a few police officers could prevent others from being killed.
During Thursday’s Virginia gubernatorial debate, Spanberger refused to give a yes-or-no answer when asked whether she knew about the texts before they became public — a question raised after Republican Lt. Gov. Winsome Earle-Sears pressed her on whether she would continue supporting Jones.
