When You Can Be Extraordinary

For U.S. Congress — Because Someone Had To

Meet Jean Shorts

Meet Jean Shorts Jones

Jean Shorts Jones is a third-generation jean shorts wearer and the first in his family to make it a whole personality. Raised in a town with one stoplight and strong opinions, Jean Shorts developed an early distrust of long pants and a deep love of this country — in that order.

After nearly two decades in small business (a jean shorts boutique that was open for eleven months), Jean Shorts turned to public life. The transition was natural. "Retail teaches you everything you need to know about Congress," Jean Shorts has said. "People come in, they don't know what they want, and they leave disappointed."

A proud University of Montana graduate, Jean Shorts was deeply involved in Greek life and credits the fraternity system with teaching the values that matter most: loyalty, accountability, and how to organize a large group of people who fundamentally disagree about everything.

"I'm not a career politician. I'm not really a career anything. But I care about this country, and I look great in denim."

The Platform

Dress Code Reform

No American should be forced to wear khakis to a job where they never meet a single customer. Jean Shorts will fight for workplace freedom, starting below the knee.

Grill Rights

The federal government has 47 agencies. Not one of them is protecting your right to a quiet Sunday cookout. Jean Shorts finds that suspicious.

Folding Chair Affordability

A decent lawn chair used to cost four dollars. Now it costs nineteen. Jean Shorts doesn't know exactly who is responsible, but will find out.

Big Ice Accountability

Ice prices are up. Nobody is talking about it. Jean Shorts has been tracking this for months and the numbers don't add up. Someone in Washington knows why.

Join the Movement

There is nothing to sign up for. There is no mailing list, no merch store, and no fundraising goal. Jean Shorts Jones is not accepting donations, mostly because setting that up seemed complicated.
