Valencia County Breaking News: Dem Sheriff Candidate Rodney Jones on the ballot, wins case in court.

The 13th Judicial District Court in Valencia County has ruled that Democratic Sheriff Candidate Rodney Jones is a resident of Valencia County and eligible to run.

“I have never intended to change my residence from Valencia County. My entire career I have worked in law enforcement in Valencia County,” Jones wrote in a letter responding to the allegation. “In fact, I returned to VCSO after being shot five times."

“The voters have the right to a choice in this race and I have a right to appear on the ballot in the county where I have been registered to vote for 26 years.”

Rodney Jones is a member of the Isleta Pueblo and is currently the Secretary of the Isleta Tribal Council. He is a former Chief Judge and a former detective with the Valencia County Sheriff’s Office and the Los Lunas Police Department.

The chair of the Valencia GOP is a nutcase and we're going to take him down. He filed this allegation and has now LOST!

Also, note that the current sheriff won in 2018 as a Democrat. WE got her elected. Then, in 2020, right after Trump lost, she switched to Repug. She has a terrible record. She tried everything to get Rodney not to run and failed.

Our candidate is a stand-up guy and he's a member of the Isleta Tribe!!! I'm going to enjoy this race most of all this November!
