Community service has been a guiding principle throughout Asha Jones’ life. She chose politics and public service for her profession, because, in her eyes, it was the ultimate way to serve—allowing her to support progress and build community.
Jones has been a dedicated community advocate and public servant for two decades. As the chief of staff for Congressman Steven Horsford, Jones serves as his strategic advisor and leads staff members in Nevada and Washington, D.C. She is one of 21 Black chiefs of staff currently appointed in the House of Representatives. She previously worked for Senator Harry Reid, Representative Shelley Berkley and Representative Ruben Kihuen. Jones also served as the Nevada political director for Hillary for America, and she played an integral role in the successful election of the first Latina in the U.S. Senate, Catherine Cortez Masto.
Always working to deliver resources and support to the Southern Nevada community, Jones advocates for small businesses and works to connect them to services that will help them be successful. She also uses her role to address critical issues, such as the housing crisis and housing instability.
