Rebekah Jones: American geographer and activist (born 1989)
Rebekah D. Jones is an American geographer, specializing in using geographic information system (GIS) data to track hurricanes. She used geographic information system software to create the Florida Department of Health COVID-19 dashboard but was fired from her job in May 2020, which she said was due to her refusal to hide COVID-19 data. In May 2022, Florida's Office of Inspector General found her claims to be unsubstantiated or unfounded, and exonerated officials she accused of wrongdoing. In the 2022 U.S. House of Representatives elections in Florida, Jones was the Democratic Party nominee against Matt Gaetz for Florida's 1st congressional district; she was defeated on November 8, 2022.
