State Senator
Andrew Jones
"Our state faces enormous challenges that will never be met by career politicians or Montgomery politics as usual. As a small business owner, farmer, and Christian Conservative, I believe there is much we can do to fully harness the great potential of our state. I invite you to join us on this journey."
Meet Andrew
Small Business Owner
Andrew founded Deep South Coffee Factory, a Centre, AL-based craft coffee roasting company in 2017, in order to help contribute to the economic development of his hometown. The business has grown quickly, with multiple stores selling Deep South Coffee, and online sales from Alaska to New York.
As a small business owner, Andrew has seen how over-regulation makes it difficult for hardworking folks to start a small family business.
Farmer
A 4th Generation Farmer, Andrew, his parents, and his siblings are all shareholders in Paul Jennings Farms, Inc., which is named after his late grandfather.
Andrew has seen how government red tape and misguided policies have impacted Etowah, Cherokee, and DeKalb county farmers, forcing many family farms out of business. In fact, in order to ensure the survival of Paul Jennings Farms, the family made the decision to convert from a dairy to beef cattle operation several years ago.
Conservative
A lifelong Conservative, Andrew has been active in the Cherokee County Republican Party since his high school days — before there were any elected Republican officials in the county.
Andrew is firmly grounded in the conservative principles of small government, low taxes, fiscal responsibility and accountability. Andrew’s agenda is driven by the people, not the power brokers or the Montgomery special interests.
Christian
Andrew is a born-again Christian, and a member of Centre First Baptist Church, where he serves as pianist.
Andrew believes that we need to protect our Northeast Alabama values, which are often under attack. Andrew believes that we must preserve the sanctity of life and fully supports faith-based alternatives for those struggling with drug addiction. Additionally, he has supported legislation defending women’s sports, and sponsored multiple bills to promote adoption in Alabama.
Policymaker
Andrew holds a Masters of Public Policy from the College of William and Mary in Virginia. As part of his degree, he was trained to closely look at legislation, budgets, and the impact of governmental policies.
Andrew has taken that experience to Montgomery working to pass the largest tax cut in Alabama history and tackle tough issues like keeping Alabama community pharmacies open.
Proud Husband
Andrew and his wife Summer met when she served as volunteer coordinator for his 2018 general election campaign. They were married a little over a year later on December 28, 2019.
Summer frequently accompanies Andrew to Montgomery, hosting guests, giving tours, working with their Student Page program, and coordinating historical projects in the state capitol complex. Summer also serves as President of the Cherokee County Republican Women.
