After redistricting, he sought election in 2022 in New York's 10th congressional district after DCCC chair Sean Patrick Maloney chose to run in NY 17. Maloney lost in the general election to Republican Mike Lawler. Jones lost the Democratic primary in NY 10 to attorney Dan Goldman, who went on to win the seat in the general election. In July 2023, Jones announced that he would seek election to his former seat in NY 17 in the following year.
