Background:
Davey is the grandson of Randy Jones, a high school principal from Alabama, and the son of Randy's third son, Davey Jones, Sr. While in his twenties, Davey took a sprint break vacation to Antillia. He immediately fell in love with the place, and wired home for some money to buy some property. His $200 was only enough to buy him a small plot of land in rural Lorient. Luckily for him, though, that plot of land was soon worth thousands of dollars, because a rock formation looking vaguely like the Virgin Mary was discovered on that property, causing the largely Catholic Francophones to engage in a bidding war for control. Davey shrewdly invested the money to purchase a winery, and got a job as a high school principal in Lorient.
Davey Sr. married his wife, Jacqueline Du Bois, two years after arriving on the island. Though she was both half-French and Roman Catholic, the two fell in love despite their differences. Davey managed to "convert" her from her Frenchness; in return, Jacqueline converted her husband to Roman Catholicism, practically anathema to the Jones family back in Alabama. They had nine children together; Davey Jr., known as "Junior" to everyone, was the third, and the first son. It was widely expected that Davey would go into the family business and become a high school principal. But it was not to be. Instead, Davey chose the life of an insurance adjuster, leaving the winery to his older sisters.
He led a quiet life until the age of 27. That's when the immigrants started trickling in. Then the trickle became a flood. Davey was alarmed; what was the world coming to? He first got into politics campaigning as essentially an "anti-anyone-not-Anglo-Saxon" candidate. But that was before he met his wife. Padma Dasgupta came into his life while running for office, amusingly enough in a crowd of protectors outside a campaign visit. She challenged him to sit down in a restaurant and discuss his politics with her. He accepted. They were married within a month.
This has tempered his views on immigration quite a bit; he supports almost no barriers to skilled immigration (his wife is an engineer), and generally favors a pro-refugee policy. Still, his views remain otherwise conservative. He is strongly opposed to granting homosexuals any special rights, and is pro-life in all cases, except for the health of the mother. He supports the death penalty for capital crimes. He supports tax and spending cuts, along with reduced welfare programs and more lax environmental regulations. He opposes any bilingualism in the public sphere. In foreign policy, he is a strong supporter of a stronger alliance with the United States, and by extension the United Kingdom.
