"I must re-shift my priorities to give my children all the support that my parents gave to me.
"I appreciate your support in this transition and promise to complete my term in 2016 with the same enthusiasm as I started."
Jones was first elected to the Georgia General Assembly in 2012, after emerging from a crowded field in the Democratic primary.
