Edward Jones (NC politician)

Edward Walter (Ed) Jones is a North Carolina Democratic politician who represents the state's 4th Senate district (including Bertie, Chowan, Gates, Halifax, Hertford, Northampton, and Perquimans counties) in the North Carolina Senate. Jones is a retired state trooper and former chief of police and mayor of Enfield, North Carolina.

Until January 2007, Jones served as a member of the North Carolina House of Representatives since being nominated by local Democratic Party leaders to fill the vacancy caused by the death of state Rep. John D. Hall in 2005. He was elected by 7th district (Halifax and Nash counties) voters to continue in office in November 2006. But between his election to a full term and the opening of the legislative session in January 2007, state senator Robert L. Holloman died. Local Democratic Party leaders nominated Jones to fill Holloman's seat on January 18, 2007. Jones immediately resigned his House seat and was appointed by Governor Mike Easley to the senate on January 23.

Jones is married to the former Mary Ann Holden of Wendell, NC. They have two (2) daughters, Alesha Garrett and Andrea Long, and one (1) granddaughter, Karisma Garrett.
