A Whig, Jones twice defeated future U.S. President James K. Polk for the governorship, in 1841 and 1843.  He was the first native-born Tennessean to be elected governor of the state.

Though he later joined the Democratic Party, Jones's speaking skills and campaign style helped to solidify Tennessee's Whigs as one of the strongest Whig movements in the South.
