Support Jerry Jones, Jr. for NHC School Board

Jerry Jones is running for New Hanover County Board of Education to bring its focus back to students, educators, and quality public education. At a time when the board’s attention has too often drifted away from students' learning needs and the material realities of working families, Jerry is stepping forward to champion a school system grounded in inclusivity, transparency, and academic excellence.

Jerry grew up in a working-class family and understands the power of public schools to break cycles of poverty. Today, he works in a lab, runs an independent bookstore, and is a dedicated husband and father of two. His lived experience—as a parent, a small business owner, and someone who has seen how opportunity can transform a life—informs his commitment to ensuring every child in New Hanover County gets a genuine chance to thrive.

Your contribution helps Jerry share his vision, connect with voters, and advocate for a school board that reflects the values and priorities of the county's hardworking families.
