REPRESENTATIVE BRADLEY JONES ANNOUNCES HE WILL NOT SEEK

RE-ELECTION TO THE MASSACHUSETTS HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES

After 32 years serving in the House of Representatives, I have decided that I will not seek re-

election to another term this fall.

Serving as State Representative has been a tremendously meaningful part of my life, and while

difficult to leave behind, I eagerly look forward to my next chapter. It is a profound and distinct

honor for which I will be eternally grateful. Representing the community where I was born and

raised has made this even more of a privilege.

Thank you to my constituents for allowing me to serve them for over three decades, electing me 17

times. I am very proud to have maintained my perfect voting record since I first took the oath of

office on March 22, 1994. As of last count, it is over 8,180 roll call votes. I believe this is a

reflection of my commitment to my constituents.

I have served and worked with many extraordinary local public officials, community volunteers,

and committed advocates over the years. Together, we have brought countless local initiatives and

projects to completion, improving the facilities and services across the district. Thank you for

welcoming me into your homes, inviting me into your neighborhoods, letting me celebrate

milestones with you, and including me in community celebrations throughout my four towns.

My colleagues in the Republican caucus have afforded me the rare privilege to serve as Minority

Leader since 2002, allowing me to be even more impactful in my service. Working with so many

talented and dedicated members, often across the aisle, on a wide range of important issues over

the years has been rewarding and inspiring.

I have been extremely fortunate to have had so many remarkable staff members support me over

the years. Constituent service has always been paramount, and together, we have assisted

thousands of residents and helped them navigate state agencies.

Until my term concludes next January, I will continue to represent the people of Lynnfield,

Middleton, North Reading, & Reading with the same commitment and passion. Thank you again

for the honor of representing the 20th Middlesex District and the Commonwealth of

Massachusetts.
