Terry Jones (politician)

Outside of politics, he was worked as a contractor and rancher. He was elected to the North Dakota House of Representatives in November 2016 and assumed office on December 1, 2016.^[1][2]

In 2020, members of the North Dakota House District 4 Democratic-NPL Party requested that Secretary of State Alvin Jaeger remove Jones's name from the November ballot, claiming that he was a legal resident of Wyoming and ineligible to run for the election. Jones owns a farming and construction business in Wyoming that is co-operated by his sons.^[3] The North Dakota Supreme Court later ruled in favor of Jones.^[4]

In 2021, Jones circulated a video in support of QAnon to all members of the North Dakota House of Representatives via email. Jones later issued an apology, claiming that he had believed the video was a message from President Donald Trump.^[5]

Jones lives in New Town, North Dakota. He and his wife, Kelly, have six children.^[6]
