During his first term, Jones founded the Economic Growth Caucus, a Pennsylvania House caucus focusing on economic growth, primarily in terms of workforce, regulatory, energy, and tax policy, and composed of sitting representatives with business backgrounds.[6] Jones received national attention for his participation in the "Reopen PA" movement during the COVID-19 pandemic shutdowns in 2020, and he introduced a bill with fellow freshman Representative Andrew Lewis in early 2019 to add term limits to the Pennsylvania Constitution.[7]

Jones served on the Dallastown Area School Board from 2017 to 2019, sitting concurrently in the legislature for most of 2019.[8]
