'''Walter Beaman Jones, Jr.''' (February 10, 1943 – February 10, 2019) was a [[libertarian]]-leaning [[Republican]] Congressman who had represented [[North Carolina]]'s 3rd congressional district from 1995 to 2019. While considered a [[conservative]] and [[paleoconservative]] earlier in his career, Jones began shifting away from his party line ever since around the mid-Bush presidency, criticizing his [[Republican]] colleagues and sometimes voting along with [[Democrats]] on certain issues.
