Rodney Jones, Dem. Candidate for Valencia County Sheriff

The 13th Judicial District Court in Valencia County has ruled that Democratic Sheriff Candidate Rodney Jones is a resident of Valencia County and eligible to run.

“I have never intended to change my residence from Valencia County. My entire career I have worked in law enforcement in Valencia County,” Jones wrote in a letter responding to the allegation. “In fact, I returned to VCSO after being shot five times.”

“The voters have the right to a choice in this race and I have a right to appear on the ballot in the county where I have been registered to vote for 26 years.”

Rodney Jones is a member of the Isleta Pueblo and is currently the Secretary of the Isleta Tribal Council. He is a former Chief Judge and a former detective with the Valencia County Sheriff’s Office and the Los Lunas Police Department.

Rodney Jones, a Democrat, will run to replace Denise Vigil, the current Valencia County Sheriff, who ran and won as a Democrat in 2018 before repudiating the hard work and support of all those who helped to get her elected by switching parties in November 2020.

The case was heard and decided by District Court Judge James Lawrence Sanchez.

This is breaking news from outside the courthouse.


Congratulations, Democrats! We knew Rodney Jones was in the right all along. It’s great to hear the 13th Judicial District Court confirm it!
