About Doug

<p>“Tuberville is riding around talking to ChatGPT and the Doug Jones campaign is riding around talking to you on Sunday nights, at town halls, wherever we go,” Jones said. “That’s who we’re talking to because that’s where the real answers are for the people of Alabama. It’s not on ChatGPT.”</p>

<h4>Doug Jones: Tommy Tuberville Might Want to Update His ChatGPT</h4>

<p>“Today, so much of that is being rolled back, and ground zero for all of it was right here in Alabama,” Jones said. “We cannot let Alabama be ground zero for the rollback once again. We have got to do everything possible to protect voting rights and make sure everybody has a seat at the table.”</p>

<h4>Doug Jones: Alabama Cannot Be “Ground Zero” for the Rollback of Voting Rights</h4>

<p>Doug Jones, Alabama’s Democratic candidate for governor, blasted U.S. Sen. Tommy Tuberville on Wednesday for his stock trading and holdings with tech companies tied to data centers.</p>

<h4>Doug Jones blasts Tuberville’s financial ties to data centers, calls for strict ethics laws</h4>

<p>“Think about how far in about five years we’ve gone when your U.S. Senator, a son of the South, led a reading of a writing from Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. when he was in jail … to now where a U.S. Senator recently took to the floor of the Senate to sow the seeds of hate against the Muslim community,”</p>

<h4>Doug Jones slams Tuberville’s Muslim remarks at MLK gala, warns civil rights are at risk</h4>

Alabama’s prison system is dangerous, unconstitutional, and wasting taxpayer money. Doug’s plan will bring transparency, independent oversight, safer facilities, and real reform.

<h2>Fix Alabama’s Prisons &amp; Restore Accountability</h2>

<p>"If you want to see a con job, watch what's happening in the Alabama legislature about the Public Service Commission. Rep. Mack Butler's HB 475 that passed the House was a good bill. For the first time in over 40 years, Alabamians had a real chance to get a formal rate case where power companies would have to justify their rates in public. When that bill got to the Senate, Republican leadership not only gutted the requirement of a rate case from HB 475 but added their PSC packing plan to increase the PSC from 3 to 7 members with Governor Ivey appointing four seats this summer before the election. The substitute would also effectively put control of the PSC in the hands of a non-elected “energy secretary” also appointed by the governor."</p>

<h4>Statement from Doug Jones Regarding the Passage of HB541 by the Alabama House</h4>

<p>“I’m calling on Senator Tuberville to divest every share of stock, every option, every position tied to AI, data centers and the utilities that serve them,” Jones said at a Wednesday press conference. “If he wants to be the governor of Alabama, he cannot be a shareholder in the industry he is asking Alabama to bet its future on.”</p>

<p>Former U.S. Sen. Doug Jones, who is running for governor, said the president is trying to artificially lower beef prices “on the backs of American and Alabama farmers.”</p>

<h4>Jones, Sparks make hay of Trump’s beef import decision</h4>

<p>"This week, the same Supreme Court that gutted the Voting Rights Act earlier this year rejected Republicans' most recent attempt to make voting harder for Americans. By a narrow 5-4 margin, the Court allowed the counting of mail-in ballots postmarked by but received after Election Day. I am relieved by the Court's decision, but this is not the time to celebrate."</p>

She got folks organized, got them registered, and turned a state everybody had written off into one of the most competitive in the country,” Jones said. “We’re seeing some of that same energy here in Alabama. People are paying attention, and on November 3, we are going to send a loud message when we win this.”</span></p>

<h4>Doug Jones: Alabama Is Ready to Move Beyond Divisive Politics</h4>

Jones said the plan is aimed at breaking what he described as a closed system that has left many Alabamians feeling shut out.</p>

<h4>Jones casts vision for Alabama</h4>

<p>“I would love to see a series of debates, if the heat would break, on the back of a flatbed truck in about five different places in this state,” Jones said. “Just get up there one-on-one. We don’t need a moderator. We don’t need anything. We just get up there and talk about issues and go back and forth with each other.”</p>

<h4>Candidates come home to standing-room-only</h4>

<p>“Donald Trump promised to bring prices down. Instead, he’s trying to do it on the backs of American and Alabama farmers,” Jones said. “Alabama cattlemen are already getting crushed by the cost of fertilizer, diesel, equipment and everything else it takes to stay in business. Flooding the market with tariff-free foreign beef isn’t a serious plan to lower costs. It’s another Washington decision that leaves Alabama farmers holding the bag.”</p>

Alabama is worth fighting for.
