Jones took office on January 1, 2009, was inaugurated for his second term on January 12, 2013, and was succeeded by Levar Stoney on December 31, 2016.[1] Jones is a member of the Democratic Party, and was elected chairman of the Democratic Party of Virginia on March 15, 2014.[2] Background and personal lifeJones was born in Philadelphia and moved to Richmond, Virginia after attending Virginia Union University, which awarded him Master of Divinity degree (1973), and earlier a Bachelor of Science degree (1970). He earned his Doctorate from United Theological Seminary in Dayton, Ohio. He is married and has three children, Dwight, Derik, and Nichole.[3] CareerA Baptist, Jones is senior pastor of the First Baptist Church of South Richmond. Political careerJones served as a member of the Richmond City School Board in 1979, and as its chairman from 1982-1985. In 1993, Jones was elected to the Virginia House of Delegates (a part time position), and represented the 70th District (which includes Richmond) from 1994 until declining to seek re-election in 2008.[4][5] Mayor of RichmondJones took office as Richmond's 79th mayor on January 1, 2009.[6] During his tenure, four new schools were built: Broad Rock Elementary, Oak Grove-Bellemeade Elementary, Martin Luther King, Jr. Middle School,[7][8] and Huguenot High School which is the first high school built in the City of Richmond in 40 years.[9][10] Other new public works included a new fire station (Fire Station 17) completed in 2012, which was the first built by the City of Richmond in 18 years. It replaced a fire station built in 1917, which was designed for horse-drawn equipment.[11][12] A new Richmond City Jail was also built, and opened in July 2014 under capacity.[13] The replaced jail (built in the 1960s), had multiple overcrowding, maintenance and safety issues.[14] During his last year in office, several agencies investigated the relationship between Jones' church (building a new structure in Chesterfield County) and the Richmond Department of Public Works and other agencies, particularly as about 10% of city employees were members of his congregation,[15] but after the election, Virginia's attorney general, Mark Herring, issued a report detailing laxities but declining to prosecute.[16] Immediately before leaving office, Jones authorized significant severance packages for four high-level appointees.[17] Notes1. ^{{cite web|url=https://www.richmond.com/news/local/city-of-richmond/levar-stoney-richmond-s-youngest-elected-mayor-took-office-sunday/article_bc314e58-acdb-5c19-a522-d95c008fe546.html|title=Levar Stoney, Richmond's youngest elected mayor, took office Sunday: Here's how he got there|first=Ned|last=Oliver|work=Richmond Times-Dispatch|accessdate=February 5, 2019}} 2. ^{{cite news|title=Virginia Democrats elect Jones as new chairman|work=Richmond Times Dispatch|date=March 15, 2014|url=http://www.timesdispatch.com/news/state-regional/virginia-politics/virginia-democrats-elect-jones-as-new-chairman/article_637d2018-ac5a-11e3-863e-001a4bcf6878.html|accessdate=June 13, 2014}} 3. ^{{cite web|url=https://votesmart.org/candidate/biography/5160/dwight-jones#.XFjeIFxKiUl|title=Dwight Jones Biography|website=Vote Smart|accessdate=February 5, 2019}} 4. ^{{cite web|url=https://www.richmondsunlight.com/legislator/dcjones/|title=Richmond Sunlight » Del.
