|Dom Jones is a Southern California public figure, Television and media personality, prolific social media content creator, community leader, health and wellness professional, motivational speaker, and social justice advocate who inspires and encourages others. As a Cycling Instructor and Fitness Professional with almost 20 years of experience, Dom helps people achieve mental, emotional, and physical well-being.
Dom has experience as an educator with special needs youth and is a product of the foster care system. She seeks to create a compassionate and caring environment for those in disenfranchised circumstances.
Dom joyously supports young female-identifying women in developing the skills to run for elected office as Co-Founder & CCO (Chief Creative Officer) of DemocraShe. Furthermore, Dom serves with Planned Parenthood on the Electoral and Advocacy Committee and seeks to continually create more provisions nationally for women's reproductive rights and opportunities for women to run for elected office. Dom Jones works closely with The Democratic Party Of Orange County (DPOC) and is an alternate on The Central Committee and continually supports candidates running for political office who uplift and unify America through practical and reasonable legislation, putting Americans first. Dom also serves as the 2nd Vice President of The Democrats of West Orange County (DCWOC).
- Environmental justice is the idea that everyone should have equal access to clean and safe environments, regardless of their background or socioeconomic status. Unfortunately, marginalized communities often bear the brunt of environmental pollution, leading to health and economic problems. Dom Jones understands the importance of addressing this issue and is committed to strengthening environmental justice policies while in Congress. This will help ensure that all communities have access to clean air, water, and land, and will promote sustainable development that benefits everyone. Ultimately, prioritizing environmental justice will help level the playing field for vulnerable communities and create a more equitable and just society.
- The issue of women's rights to their bodies is a fundamental human rights issue that has far-reaching implications. Women have the right to make their own decisions about their bodies, including whether to have children, how many to have, and when to have them. Unfortunately, this right is often threatened by laws and policies that seek to restrict access to reproductive healthcare and services. As a result, the fight for women's rights to their bodies has become increasingly urgent in recent years. Dom Jones understands the importance of protecting and strengthening these rights while in Congress. This includes supporting policies that ensure access to reproductive healthcare and services.
- The issue of equality, civil rights, and fighting hatred is at the core of a just and inclusive society. Unfortunately, discrimination and hatred continue to exist in various forms, including racism, sexism, homophobia, and religious bigotry. This undermines the fabric of our society and threatens the well-being of millions of people. Dom Jones recognizes the importance of strengthening civil rights protections and fighting against all forms of hatred while in Congress. This includes advocating for policies that promote equal treatment and opportunity for all individuals, regardless of their background. It also means supporting measures that protect against hate crimes, discrimination, and harassment.
Dom is a fierce defender of reproductive rights and firmly believes that a woman's healthcare decisions should be left between her and her doctor. Politicians should not interfere with a woman's right to choose. The constant attacks on Roe vs Wade and access to safe abortions put women's lives in danger and jeopardize their well-being. Every woman deserves to have control over her own body and make decisions that are best for her own health and future. Dom's advocacy for healthcare as a human right extends to supporting Medicare for all Americans.
As a Congresswoman, Dom will fight to expand funding for healthcare providers like Planned Parenthood and other organizations that offer preventative care, education, and access to contraceptives. Dom understands that access to reproductive healthcare is essential for achieving gender equity, and she will work tirelessly to ensure that every woman in America has the care and support she needs to thrive.
Dom will fight to strengthen, expand and support The Clean Air and The Clean Water Act (CWA) landmark pieces of legislation established federal regulations to protect air and water quality.
Dom understands the daily struggles that hardworking American families face, and she is dedicated to making sure that every family can thrive.
Dom strongly believes that civil rights are non-negotiable. With her unyielding commitment to civil rights, Dom will make sure that every voice is heard.
