Adrienne Jones (Democratic Party) is a member of the Maryland House of Delegates, representing District 10. She assumed office on October 21, 1997. Her current term ends on January 13, 2027.

Jones (Democratic Party) ran for re-election to the Maryland House of Delegates to represent District 10. She won in the general election on November 8, 2022.

House delegates unanimously elected Jones speaker of the Maryland House of Delegates on May 1, 2019. She was the first woman and first African American to serve as speaker.[1] Jones replaced Speaker Michael Busch (D), who passed away on April 7, 2019.[2] She served as speaker under both a divided government (2019-2022) and a Democratic trifecta (as of 2023).

Jones was born on November 20, 1954, in Cowdensville, Maryland. Jones attended Baltimore County Public Schools and earned a B.A. in psychology from the University of Maryland-Baltimore County in 1976. She attended The National Security Seminar, U.S. Army War College in 2007 and received an Honorary Doctor of Law Degree from Goucher College in 2008.[3]

Jones' professional experience included working in Baltimore County as director of the Office of Minority Affairs from 1989 to 1995, executive director of the Office of Fair Practices and Community Affairs from 1995 to 2011, and deputy director of the Office of Human Resources from 2011 to 2014. She also served as a part-time columnist for The Baltimore Times from 1990 to 2000.[3]

Jones first joined the Maryland House of Delegates on October 21, 1997, after House Speaker Casper Taylor (D) appointed her to fill a vacancy in District 10. As of July 2024, she won every election to the district since her initial appointment and served as Busch's speaker pro tem for 16 years, from 2003 to 2019.[4] Jones was the first African American woman to serve in the position.[1]

An announcement for Jones' induction into Maryland's Women's Hall of Fame said of her time as speaker: "Speaker Jones ushered through The Blueprint for Maryland’s Future, a 10-year plan that makes the largest investment in education in Maryland history. She implemented the nation’s first comprehensive statewide policy agenda for racial and economic justice and made transformational police reforms, including making Maryland the first state in the nation to repeal the Law Enforcement Officers’ Bill of Rights. To protect women’s reproductive health care, she led the effort to enshrine the right to reproductive freedom in Maryland’s Constitution."[1]

Scorecards

See also: State legislative scorecards and State legislative scorecards in Maryland

A scorecard evaluates a legislator’s voting record. Its purpose is to inform voters about the legislator’s political positions. Because scorecards have varying purposes and methodologies, each report should be considered on its own merits. For example, an advocacy group’s scorecard may assess a legislator’s voting record on one issue while a state newspaper’s scorecard may evaluate the voting record in its entirety.

Ballotpedia is in the process of developing an encyclopedic list of published scorecards. Some states have a limited number of available scorecards or scorecards produced only by select groups. It is Ballotpedia’s goal to incorporate all available scorecards regardless of ideology or number.
