  3. More black power bs

  4. Intelligent and enthusiastic

  5. Is it me or do White and Black politicians act like the other races don't matter as much?

  6. It means problem solver. I like it.

  7. Does he have to run in November against Sarah "telly tubby" Sanders?

  8. Tis the reason Trump got elected. Not n establishment politician. The American people were disgusted by both parties: the same ol, same ol. The establishment got GOD smacked n after the shock, here comes the tasmanian devil. Only one person to blame, 45. Why? Cus he upset the comfortable apple cart. 👍👏👏🇺🇸🇺🇸

  9. Great guy, someone of quality!

  10. Rooting for you, in one of the most republican gerry mandered States!

    Arkansas needs help in so many areas!

  11. 11 of the top 12 states with the highest poverty rate are the Republican-led states of Mississippi, Louisiana, Kentucky, Arkansas, West Virginia, Alabama, Oklahoma, Tennessee, South Carolina, North Carolina and Texas. 14 of the top 15 states with the lowest median household income are the Republican-led states of Mississippi, West Virginia, Arkansas, Louisiana, Alabama, Kentucky, Oklahoma, Tennessee, North Carolina, South Carolina, Montana, Missouri, Indiana and Ohio.

  12. He has no shot & that’s sad cause republicans have done but make Arkansas LAST in almost every category from healthcare to education lol

  13. Listen to Chris Jones he is ready for Arkansas

  14. If you are for crime on our streets and lawlessness keep voting in Democrats Mayors and governors, change is up to the people if you like crime stay the same.

  15. Remember that YouTube comments don't win elections. Please make sure you're registered to vote. .. while you still have the right to vote…and remind anyone who thinks their vote "doesn't matter" how hard Republican'ts have been working to undermine free and fair elections. If you're tired of seeing red, vote BLUE in '22!

  16. Chris Jones is the black man for Arkansas? The problem solver. Well diverse. His community is very Broad. Broad enough to service all of Arkansas. Arkansas has to be ready for the better America.

  17. I don't know this guy, he is a Biden supporter. I know Ms. Huckabee and her policies, she will get my vote.

  18. I am a Black voter, I vote for a politician who will vote for issues and make policies of my interest. Screw history, I am not voting for someone to make history, thats so stupid, a person making history won't help the issues I care about.

  19. Deserve to be on top? Deserve to be first? No sir. No state "deserves". You have to earn that right.

  20. Candidate Jones for Gov. win win! Jones strengthens, possible, victory, & endurance the race. Blue in 22!

  21. BLUE BLUE BLUE 💙💙💙

  22. Its been time for a dam change these dam white supremist cult mega espionage supporters and don't for get abortion banding.and defund the law need to go. Blue yall for demarcrocy and women right to choose.

  23. Not about color but ability. Don’t run based on skin color

  24. Conservatives were more than happy to let the right wing extremists treat transgender women like criminals. But now that they are going after abortion…

    "First they came for the Socialists
    And I did not speak out
    Because I was not a Socialist
    Then they came for the trade unionists
    And I did not speak out
    Because I was not a trade unionist
    Then they came for the Jews
    And I did not speak out
    Because I was not a Jew
    Then they came for me
    And there was no one left
    To speak out for me

  25. Do not vote for him just because he's black man he's a Democrat do not vote Democrat if you love this country

  26. To all arkansas's please vote red all the way

  27. A black democrat.Black death for black people.These monsters are worse for black people than the slave masters.
