Jerry Jones, the iconic owner of the Dallas Cowboys, is no stranger to making headlines both on and off the field. While fans eagerly anticipate his decision on the team’s next head coach-names like Kellen Moore, Deion Sanders, and Brian Schottenheimer are reportedly in the mix-Jones has also been making waves in the political arena.
Recently, Jones made another notable political donation to the Republican Party, continuing his long-standing alignment with the GOP. According to Front Office Sports, Jones contributed $1.1 million to Donald Trump’s inauguration fund back in 2020. A spokesperson confirmed this donation, and records of other donors are expected to be released later this spring.
Jones has never been shy about his political affiliations. In a past USA Today interview, he famously stated his reasons for supporting the GOP: “to kick the asses of people like you.” In another interview, when asked about his party preference, Jones bluntly explained, “That’s how the country should be run, but don’t (bleep) with me, all right?” His unapologetic and colorful approach mirrors the bold personality that has made him a larger-than-life figure in professional sports.

Jones’ loyalty to Trump and GOP takes center stage
Jones isn’t the only local sports mogul tied to Republican fundraising efforts. Miriam Adelson, the new owner of the Dallas Mavericks, is also among the notable contributors to Trump’s inauguration. Together, they’re part of a group that helped raise an estimated $200 million for what was one of the most lavish inaugural celebrations in recent history.
Back home, Jones’ political leanings seem to resonate with much of his fan base, despite some local differences. While Dallas County leaned Democratic in the last election-voting for Kamala Harris-Trump secured a solid 56% of the vote statewide in Texas. This alignment likely reinforces Jones’ confidence in his political decisions, even as he balances them with his high-profile role in football management.
For now, while fans wait to see who will take the reins of the Dallas Cowboys, Jones’ bold moves off the field continue to keep him at the center of attention. Whether it’s his unapologetic political stance or his ongoing search for the next coach, Jones remains as unpredictable as ever-just the way he likes it.
