“Corey Jones is a brave, bold organizer and policy maker who has worked within the system in Providence and the state of Rhode Island but is not afraid to challenge that system to work better on behalf of the people. I’m interested in more people with a combination of lived experience and strong leadership skills being elected to office and that is why I’m supporting Corey Jones for City Council Ward 3.”

“I met Mr. Jones for the first time when he came to my door to introduce himself and his candidacy. We had a lively conversation for about fifteen minutes during which I became impressed and excited by his views and his broad understanding of issues confronting Providence and American society at large. Having seen over the years several City Council representatives from this Ward and others lacking evident commitment to matters greater than themselves, I look forward to supporting this energetic and knowledgeable young man whose aspirations lend hope for a better tomorrow.”

In my time working with Corey talking with members of the community and discussing policy, I am confident that he will bring substantial climate policy, education reform, and public safety improvements that will reflect what his constituency wants for their community.

I support Corey Jones For City Council Ward 3 because Corey will bring an independent progressive voice to city council. With his lived experience and experience in policy and organizing I know he'll find solutions that help our most vulnerable community members. Through my personal experience working with Corey in protests and organizing spaces he's always brought his time, ideas, and resources to the table. I believe Corey will do that for city council and help move Providence forward.

As a library employee I have watched as the pandemic has exacerbated conditions of poverty and need in our community and across the country. Corey's desire to focus on marginalized communities first is precisely the kind of response I hope to see from my political representatives. I support his alignment with Black Lives Matter, as well as his focus on expanding affordable housing, increasing educational opportunities for youth, and harm reduction. I will be excited to vote for Corey Jones this year!

I support Corey Jones For City Council Ward 3 because Corey will not only bring a progressive voice to the Providence City Council but also because he has been involved in the political process from a very young age, leaving him with years of experience that will benefit the City of Providence. Corey understands the importance of fighting for and helping people without personally gaining anything from it. Corey is truly for the people and that is why I currently support and will always support him.
