LITTLE ROCK, AR - Dr. Chris Jones released the first primary election advertisement for his campaign to be elected Governor of Arkansas. The ad – titled "Skywalker” and available Tuesday across digital platforms – draws on Jones’s childhood dreams and aspirations to remind voters that Arkansas voters can make a choice to dream big.
“Arkansas gives Arkansans the space to dream impossible dreams – but only if nurtured appropriately,” Jones said.
“We’re not facing an evil Empire bent on vaporizing the planet, but our opponents' plans are still catastrophic for democracy and the middle class in our state. Our communities have gone too long without access to affordable healthcare, broadband internet, early childhood education, and living wage jobs in every county across Arkansas.”
“And while we can’t take on these problems with blasters and lightsabers – we can save the republic by voting for change that will bridge divisions and overcome these challenges.”
“There is a New Hope for Arkansas and it’s going to take all of us working together to make it real.”
The Jones ad – launching weeks before the May 24 Democratic primary election – is part of the campaign’s effort to engage some of the nearly one million voters who could have turned out in 2020 but did not.
Jones announced his candidacy for governor with a June 2021 launch video that has been viewed more than 4.7 million times. Since then, Jones has visited all 75 counties listening to voters and presenting priorities and plans for what he would do as governor to spread opportunity across Arkansas.
