Sandy Jones was born and raised in Corrales, New Mexico on a family farm.  As a youth, Sandy raised registered Angus cattle and was very active in 4-H and FFA remaining active today with these and other youth groups, serving as a Board Member of the FFA Foundation.  While with FFA, he received many degrees including American Farmer and in June will receive the highest level of honorary membership, the Honorary State FFA Degree.  Sandy served with the Corrales Volunteer Fire Department as Assistant Chief and Training Officer for over five years.  He founded Sandy Jones Construction, a statewide road construction company, and operated it for twenty five years, working in almost every county in New Mexico.  He moved his family to Sierra County in 1992 to a small farm where they live today.

Jones was sworn in on January 1, 2007 to his first elected office, New Mexico Public Regulation Commissioner for District 5, southwest New Mexico.  He was elected Vice Chairman in his second year and Chairman in January of 2009.  He is committed to put his business experience to work at the PRC to help small business to thrive. Recognizing the importance of small business and the fact that it is the backbone of our economy; Sandy is confident that given the tools to succeed, small business will create the good jobs necessary for our children to stay here at home in New Mexico to work and raise their families.  Sandy is dedicated to keeping utility rates affordable for all, ensuring safe, reliable transportation systems, streamlining the regulatory process and to making sure that the PRC is easily accessible to business and public alike.

Sandy has an open door policy and is always available to meet with service providers and consumers.  Jones continues to hold Open Office Hours in each of the eleven counties that he represents at least once a year.  These meetings are open to the public and will provide folks an opportunity to meet with him and to work on issues they may have with expert PRC staff in the areas of Utilities, Insurance, Corporations and Fire Safety.
