Phillip Jones is a Naval Academy graduate and Marine.  He grew up in Newport News, Virginia, and dreamed of serving his home community by running for Mayor.  In the 2022 election cycle, the opportunity appeared and Phillip jumped into the race.  He ran a great campaign and won the election, becoming the youngest Mayor ever in that city (Phillip is 33 years old).

In this episode, Phillip talks about what it was like being the son of two Air Force pilots, why he chose to serve as well, and what is was like seeking to serve again through politics.   He also talks about how his journey has been influenced by New Politics Leadership Academy programs.
