Community Activist

Thomas “Pete” Jones worked hard to rid public housing units in Alexandria of drugs.  In 1990, in the utmost secrecy, President George H. W. Bush met with Jones and a group of local leaders at the Charles Houston Recreation Center to support their efforts. Jones truly cared about those living in low-income housing and made sure they had a voice.
