| Info | Improving the general quality of life in all of our communities is at the forefront of Representative Sheila Jones’ legislative duties. Currently, she is serving the constituents of District 44 through membership on several House committees: Children & Youth, Health & Human Services and Transportation.
Representative Jones has a longstanding history of community and union leadership. She has also been active in the Fulton County State Democratic Party, the National Council of Negro Women, Inc., the National Women’s Political Caucus and Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. As her committee membership shows, Jones has a devoted commitment to working with the elderly and also protecting and providing quality health care for women and children.
The long time resident of North Atlanta and past President of the Harwell Heights Community Club sponsored a legislative luncheon at the State Capitol for senior citizens where they were educated on Predatory Mortgage Lenders. Her efforts to make Harwell Road a safer street resulted in the placement of speed breakers on the road. She has organized a community clean up drive, distributed food baskets to senior citizens during the holiday season and coordinated a joint voter registration drive for the Atlanta Chapter of National Women Political Caucus and the Atlanta Alumnae Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority. She also was an active participant of the Georgia’s Stonewall Democrats voter registration at Piedmont Park.
Jones was a sponsor for the children at the Carrie Steele-Pitts Home during their 2003 Christmas campaign. The organization is home to children who are either orphaned or otherwise unable to live with their families for a period of time. She is also a Gold Leader of the Disabled American Veterans Commanders Club.
For over 24 years now, Jones has been a member of the International Association of Machinists & Aerospace Workers, AFL-CIO, and held many high ranking positions. In fact, she served as the voice of more than 9,000 machinists while lobbying on Capitol Hill for better wages, unemployment benefits and workers compensation benefits for the workers in Georgia. Representative Jones is no stranger to the legislative process
