STEPHEN JONES

Stephen began his legal career after education at the University of Texas where he worked for the Republican Party of Texas by enrolling in the University of Oklahoma Law School when former Governor Henry Bellmon became the first Republican Governor of Oklahoma in 1963. In January 1964, Richard Nixon, having been defeated for President of the United States (1960) and for Governor of California (1962), moved to New York City, and shortly thereafter invited Jones to come to New York City to be his personal research assistant and to assist him with speeches and drafting articles and public statements prior to the Republican National Convention in August. Jones worked for Mr. Nixon from January until the National Convention and then returned to law school at Norman. Upon graduation, he was recruited to work in Washington as Administrative Assistant to a promising third-term Republican Congressman who represented the same district Abraham Lincoln had represented in the House 120 years..
