With six days to go until the March 7 Democratic primary, city Treasurer Tishaura Jones scored one of the more notable campaign contributions from this election season Wednesday with a $5,000 donation from actress Jada Pinkett Smith.

Pinkett Smith, 45, is known for her guest roles in early 1990s TV shows "A Different World," "21 Jump Street" and "Doogie Howser, MD." Later she went on to star in movies including "The Nutty Professor," "Set It Off," "The Matrix Reloaded" and "The Matrix Revolutions."

More recently, the Baltimore-born Pinkett Smith has had lead roles on the TNT medical drama "Hawthorne" and the Fox crime drama "Gotham." She currently lives in Malibu, California with husband Will Smith and their two children Jaden and Willow.

Jones thanked Pinkett Smith for the donation on Twitter, writing, "I'm honored to have your support."

Jones has raised close to $390,000 putting her third in the money race behind Alderman Lyda Krewson, who has raised $1.25 million, and Board of Aldermen President Lewis Reed, who has raised $490,000.
