Olympia Meola reports that while Del. Dwight Clinton Jones, D-Richmond, only recently threw his hat in the ring to be Richmond’s next mayor, his legislative colleagues are already trying the title on for size.
Several colleagues welcomed Jones back to the Capitol today for the annual reconvened session with “hey, mayor” greetings. He acknowledged the good-natured ribbing with a brief nod and slight smile.
One delegate mentioned to Jones on the House floor that he’d “already knocked one out,“ apparently referring to former Richmond Councilwoman J.M. “Jackie” Jackson, who on Monday bowed out of the race.
As of now, Jones’ only declared opponent is Paul Goldman, a former aide to Mayor L. Douglas Wilder. Wilder has not announced whether he will run for re-election. The filing deadline is June 10.
If Jones’ bid for mayor is unsuccessful, he can keep his House of Delegates seat.
