that lovely lady who just announced her candidacy for Attorney General of North Carolina, Holly Jones, is the daughter of our own Neil Jones!
Here's how the Associated Press covered the story:

| Holly Jones |
RALEIGH – Buncombe County commissioner Holly Jones announced Wednesday she’s running for lieutenant governor in 2016, saying she’d serve as a counterweight to the North Carolina legislature’s conservative agenda, in particular on its interference in local government affairs.
Jones, a Democrat, wants to replace Republican Lt. Gov. Dan Forest, who is seeking re-election. She would first have to compete in next May’s primary against 2012 Democratic nominee Linda Coleman, who narrowly lost to Forest in that year’s general election.
Coleman, a former legislator and Wake County commissioner, announced last February she would run again. Former longtime state employee Robert Wilson also plans to run in the Democratic primary.
A commissioner for seven years following seven earlier years on the Asheville City Council, Jones said she wants to present the state an “alternate vision” to what Republicans have offered since taking over all of state government.
I'm wondering if she is elected, and Neil says she will be, how is he going to address her?
Darling? Honey? Naw, forget that fatherly talk, he'll have to address her like everyone else.......
Madame Attourney General.
