Jones lives in the valley but I wouldn't be surprised if this helped his budding political career. It worked for Elvi here in Anchorage. She started yelling racism with the help of contemptible assembly member Alan Tesche when her cush city job got cut. It got her a lot of misplaced sympathy and name recognition which lead to a seat on the Assembly where she can grandstand over issues that have nothing to do with city business or even a resident of the city.
