Justin Jones: podcast appearances and interviews

Justin Jones, born on August 25, 1995, is an American activist and politician from Tennessee. He is a member of the Democratic Party and represents District 52 in the Tennessee House of Representatives, which includes parts of Nashville. As of 2025, Jones is recognized as the second youngest member of the Tennessee House and the youngest Democrat in the legislature. His tenure in the state house has included significant moments, such as his expulsion in April 2023 for leading a gun control protest on the House floor following the Covenant school shooting. Despite this setback, Jones was reinstated by the Nashville Metro Council as an interim representative, pending a special election, which he subsequently won in August 2023 to serve a full term. He was re-elected in November 2024 for a second term. Jones is known for his activism and advocacy on issues related to gun control and youth representation.
