Austin Jones is a 21 year Army Veteran that served across the world with 4 deployments in 2 wars. His watchword is Service, specifically, to the people. Since retiring in 2019, he has been a community organizer in Madison County taking on many roles from Legal Observer to Marshalling and De-escalator. He believes that Freedom Starts With Education and is a lifelong learner. He is seeking the Madison County School Board District 3 seat. His time in the military has prepared him to deal with the rules and regulations that School Boards operate under as well as building teams with the primary focus on accomplishing the mission. 

His family is his world and the education of his children with the support of his partner is always forefront in his mind. He believes that every child deserves the best and it is the duty of the entire community to deliver that. In order for that to happen, parents, teachers, administrators, and the community at large must be given the maximum amount of resources that the richest country in the history of the world has to offer. No matter what school a child goes to, they should be afforded the same standards across the board. 

In order to accomplish this mission, every possible option and idea will be explored and only the best ones will be implemented in coordination with the superintendent and the other board members as well as students, parents, teachers, administrators, and the community at large. Freedom Starts with Education and it is Everyone’s God Given Right to be Free.

There is no higher honor than to serve the people. 

I am here to do just that.
