"As a prosecutor, I spent my career standing up to powerful people and holding them accountable, including Donald Trump. That is exactly what I'll do in Congress.
Right now, our country is threatened by a lawless president and his congressional enablers, while our economy is rigged against hardworking Americans who play by the rules. I'm running to hold Trump accountable and to get Congress working again for the American people."
— J.P. Cooney
Democrat for Congress
MEET J.P.
Best known as one of the lead prosecutors in Jack Smith’s Special Counsel’s Office, J.P. Cooney was raised by a single mom in Arlington, Virginia, educated at the University of Notre Dame and UVA Law School, was a federal prosecutor for almost 18 years, and is a long-time Arlington community volunteer and youth baseball coach.
Described by the Washington Post as “a bold prosecutor who took on big cases,” The New York Times as a prosecutor “known for his aggressive approach,” and by Business Insider as a “top public corruption prosecutor,” Cooney served as a supervisor in the Department of Justice’s Public Integrity Section and as Chief of the Fraud and Public Corruption Section of the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Washington, D.C. before joining Jack Smith’s Special Counsel’s Office to help lead the investigations and prosecutions of President Donald Trump.
Now in his own small, service-oriented law practice, Cooney lives in the house he grew up in with Maureen and their three children, who all attend Yorktown High School — the same public school from which Cooney graduated.
At this moment, Americans face an unprecedented threat to values we all share — Democracy, the rule of law, and the promise that Americans can build a better and more prosperous future for their families. J.P. Cooney is running for Congress to meet this moment and do what he did throughout his career as a corruption prosecutor: stand up to the most powerful and fight for a level playing field for all.
