Meet Marcus Jones - the next congressman for AR-02!

{NAME} – We’re continuing our candidate introductions with Marcus Jones, running for Arkansas’s 2nd district! [A photo of candidate Marcus Jones smiling, wearing a pin with the Arkansas state flag on his lapel.]( Colonel (Retired) Marcus Jones is a decorated and dedicated officer who has proudly served our country at home and abroad for 29 years. Now he has answered the call of his community and, once elected, will continue his service from Congress! [A photo of Marcus Jones in Army fatigues, sitting at his desk working on paperwork. There is a disclaimer at the bottom which reads: “Use of military rank, job titles, and photographs in uniform do not imply endorsement by the Department of the Army or the Department of Defense.]( [Donate to Marcus >>]( Born in Newport and raised in Jonesboro, Marcus’ roots are planted deep in Arkansas – from Oil Trough to the University of Arkansas to Camp Robinson.  After nearly three decades serving our country throughout the U.S. and abroad, he returned home to Central Arkansas with his wife Carrie and two children, Will and Abby Grace.  His final assignment was a true privilege: serving as the Senior Army Advisor to the Arkansas Army National Guard and supporting Arkansas Soldiers through 11 mobilizations.  [Now Marcus is running to represent Arkansas’s 2nd district and leave behind a better future for his children and all families in our state. Can you make a donation to his campaign today?]( [A photo of Marcus Jones speaking to a crowd gathered for his campaign kickoff event held Thursday night, November 9th, 2023.]( You can learn more about Marcus’ campaign and sign up to volunteer at: [marcusjonesforcongress.com](.  Vortex is proud to stand with Marcus, and we need your help to get him to Washington!  Over the next few months we will ask you to give directly to our candidates, present you with opportunities to volunteer, events, and other ways to get involved.  And we will also ask for your continued support of Vortex. Here’s why:  Our candidates need a robust support system, and Vortex offers much more than an endorsement. For the next year we will enhance their campaigns with training for the candidates and their staff, volunteer recruitment, event organizing, fundraising, mailers, ads, and a whole lot more.
