Rebekah Jones for Congress
As a first-generation college student who earned a scholarship to Syracuse University, where I worked 50 hours a week to pay my rent and living expenses through my bachelors degree, I know what it’s like to have to work to earn a living.
I watched my parents struggle only to be underpaid and overworked with no labor rights in an anti-union state (Mississippi). Having my son unplanned midway through my junior year of college only furthered my resolve in completing my education, even when so many doubted that I could or even told me to give up. I completed my degree just one semester behind – graduating cum laude with dual science and communications degrees.
Through my Master of Science degree at Louisiana State University, and my doctoral studies at Florida State University, I worked as an instructor, emergency response tech, science communicator, and even led academic training for university faculty.
Instead of cashing in with my advanced science degrees, I carried with me the lessons my mother taught myself and my siblings during hard times as kids: be the good you want to see in the world.
My sisters, brother and I all went into public service.
