Jay Jones , the Democratic nominee running for Virginia attorney general this fall, has come under scrutiny by state Republicans after a local news outlet unearthed his 2022 reckless driving conviction and the opportunity he took to avoid jail time.

The politician completed 1,000 hours of community service, half of which were for his political action committee, Meet Our Moment , and the other half he spent volunteering with the NAACP Virginia State Conference. The Richmond Times-Dispatc h reported the conviction on Wednesday.
