Political career
Jones served as a Senior Media Advisor to Queensland Minister for Public Works, Housing and Racing, Robert Schwarten, and as Media Adviser to former Queensland Treasurer David Hamill before entering Parliament.
Jones was elected to state Parliament in 2006 for the seat of Ashgrove, replacing Jim Fouras, who served as Speaker of the Legislative Assembly in the 1990s. She was named Minister for Climate Change and Sustainability in the incoming Bligh cabinet after holding her position in the 2009 election and replacing Andrew McNamara.
Jones stepped down from cabinet on June 19, 2011 to concentrate on defending her position against newly elected LNP leader Campbell Newman at the 2012 state election.
Jones used lolly-pink branding rather than Labour's shade of red; this tactic was based on Kevin Rudd's approach during the campaign; Jones' supporters were sent pink T-shirts with the phrase "Keep Kate."
Jones was disqualified in the LNP's historic victory at the time, suffering a 13.4% swing as part of the LNP's stunning triumph. Newman became Premiership.
Jones attempted to regain her old seat in the state election in January 2015. She won, defeating Newman on a ten percent swing—more than double what she needed. She was the second attempt to depose a sitting premier in Queensland since 1915.
Ashgrove was abolished prior to the 2017 state election, so Jones contested and gained the new seat of Cooper.
Jones was elected Minister of Education, Minister of Tourism, Major Events, and Small Business Minister in the Palaszczuk Ministry on February 16, 2015, a position she held until 11 December 2017.
On December 12, 2017, she was elected Minister for Innovation and Tourism Promotion as well as Minister for the Commonwealth Games.
Jones resigned on September 10, 2020, the last sitting day before the 2020 Queensland state election in October.
