Joe Anne Jones Supporting Joan Perry for Congress | Eastern North Carolina Now

Press Release:

    Greenville, NC     Today Joe Anne Jones, wife of former Congressman Walter Jones, joined Dr. Joan Perry, Republican candidate for Congress, at a press conference to discuss the Special Election to fill her husband's seat in Congress. Jones clarified the record that her husband had not endorsed anyone to replace him and announced her support for Perry. The Republican runoff election is July 9th, 2019.

    "Dr. Joan Perry shares the same Christian beliefs and staunch conservative values as my husband Walter, who never endorsed anyone for the 3rd Congressional District," stated Jones. "I called Dr. Joan unprompted because she has what it takes to stand up for the people of Eastern North Carolina and our values. She will be a staunch advocate for our veterans, active duty military, and their spouses, and she shares Walter's deep concern about Washington's excessive spending problem. Additionally, nothing was more important to my husband than his faith in God, and I see the same strong faith in Dr. Joan Perry."

    "As a man of conviction and faith, Walter Jones cared about everyone in Eastern North Carolina," said Perry. "From his regular visits with veterans in the hospital, to his letter-writing to military families, he demonstrated extraordinary commitment to our military that I would aim to emulate. He loved the people here and advocated for our needs. He fought for fiscal restraint, religious liberty, and the right to life. A man of great integrity and a man who loved God, his family, and his country, Walter Jones gave selflessly because Joe Anne gave him the strength and encouragement he needed to serve. We owe them both our gratitude."

    Dr. Joan Perry is a Phi Beta Kappa graduate of UNC-Chapel Hill, where she was one of the first women to earn the Morehead Scholarship. During medical school at UNC, she married her husband, Jimbo, and stayed there for an additional three years to complete her residency in pediatrics. With the birth of her first son during medical school and second son during internship/residency, Joan quickly learned how to juggle the demands of motherhood and a career. Upon residency completion, she moved to Kinston where she and Jimbo added three more sons to the line-up. She later earned appointments to the UNC Board of Governors, Gov. Pat McCrory's health and human services transition team, and Gov. Jim Martin's North Carolina Day Care Commission. A dedicated triathlete, she and her husband have housed more than 20 youth and young adults who needed a loving home. They helped to start Grace Fellowship Church over 25 years ago and remain active members today.
