Councilman Jones chair's the Mayor's Appointment committee and is vice chairman of Municipal Services & Properties and also serves on council’s Safety, Transportation, Workforce & Community Benefits and Operations committees.
Councilman Jones is a life-long resident of Cleveland's Ward 1 community. He graduated from Aviation High School where he was active as a student leader and became involved in local politics.
