Thank you ALABAMA!!

My sincere thanks to all of our supporters who helped us along this amazing journey. I congratulate Tommy Tuberville on his election and sincerely hope he works to build an Alabama for everyone.

Doug for Alabama Election Night Watch Party

It's election day, and I know we can win this. I felt it in Montgomery last night at the America Coming Home rally. We've just got to get out the vote. Polls are open from 7 am to 7 pm on November 3. Let's go win this and move Alabama forward!

This election is about the heart and soul of Alabama. Let’s get it done! #vote #changeelection #alabama

Auburn, y’all showed up last night! Thank you. And thank you to Victor Horn, one of Tommy Tuberville’s first recruits at Auburn, for speaking about his experience playing for “Coach” Tuberville. The division. The manipulation. The lack of concern for his own players. Folks, I believe leadership is about taking care of the people who are counting on you.

General Charles Krulak and I have always agreed you keep your word to the folks who served this country. I’m grateful to have his endorsement. In the Senate, I worked every day for our service members and their families, and one of my proudest moments was standing with Gold Star widows to repeal the Military Widows Tax. As governor, I'll keep fighting for Alabama's veterans and military families.

Rally for Alabama with Doug Jones in Auburn

Elon Musk’s DOGE was a disaster. Now, Tuberville wants to bring that same approach to Alabama state government. That would mean cutting jobs, programs he doesn’t like, and threatening the retirement security of our teachers and state employees. Pay attention, folks.

What an unbelievable night! We had a crowd of more than 200 folks in Cullman, more proof that we’re building a real movement for change across this state. And it was made even better because I had my Cullman girl and running mate @louisenewjones by my side.

I say it all the time, but this really is a change election, and you could feel it in Dothan yesterday. I joined @ShomariFigures for a packed rally along with our friends @CoryBooker and @jontester When Republicans in Montgomery redrew the congressional maps in May, they counted us out. But the momentum across the state says they counted wrong. 11 days to go. Let’s go win this thing.

Doug v. Tommy: Prosecuting the Case for Alabama

Tommy Tuberville is not from Alabama, doesn’t live in Alabama and clearly does not understand folks in Alabama. That is especially true of the people who make North Alabama home. Folks who have moved into North Alabama are building an amazing economy and quality of life for the whole region. But to hear Tommy, they are socialists and communists that need to be “educated.” These folks don’t need to be “educated,” they deserve our thanks and respect. And they deserve a governor who will give them both.

We had a time at SaintsFest! Thank you to my friends, @Sewell4Congress and Sen. Robert Stewart, for welcoming me to your all class reunion.

Dems should have absolutely done that, even in those years when you were a Democrat. I’ll give that. But that’s a pretty weak response when we’ve had a Republican governor for 23 years and you have had a super majority in the legislature for 15 years. The economy you have built is not working for the average Alabamian. We top the list in personal bankruptcies, top of the list in debt collection lawsuits, we’re 7th in the number of folks in poverty, we’re third in the country in having the lowest workforce participation rate, we have almost 20% of the population facing hunger every day, we’re losing farms from one end of the state to the other, we’re losing rural hospitals left and right and healthcare delivery is near the bottom, you’re sucking money out of the education trust fund to go to private schools while the overall quality of public education still ranks near the bottom of all states (even Mississippi) and per pupil spending ranks near the bottom, quality of life consistently ranks at the bottom, the prison system is a disgrace while you rob the education trust fund to build a prison that is costing almost 3 times the original projection, electricity rates are some of the highest in the country while you guys have controlled the PSC for the last 25 years or so, retired teachers can’t get a COLA. And all of this may get worse thanks to “Coach” and his DC policies that have hurt so many in Alabama. In your economy your rich corporate buddies are doing fine but the rest of Alabama is hurting. People in Alabama are not stupid. They are not living in the past. They are struggling and they know who has been in charge while Alabama is stuck at the top of most lists that are bad and at the bottom of most that are good. They are ready for change.

You do realize Democrats had 136 years of control over the state Legislature. Why didn’t they cut the grocery tax then? Instead, they left the state BILLIONS in debt and voted to give themselves pay raises during the 2008 financial crisis while Alabamians were suffering. We cut the grocery tax in half last quadrennium and delivered over $1.5B in tax relief. We’ve been able to do that while fixing the education system your buddies broke and building the strongest economy in our state’s history. The same delusional leadership you brought to your brief stint in the U.S. Senate is showing in a big way right now. Can’t wait for Coach to send you packing… again. #voterepublican

This week I visited Donald Means, a fifth-generation farmer raising cattle in Greene County. He told me he wants to carry on his family’s legacy, but high diesel prices and tariffs are making it harder for farmers like him to hold on. I promise you, when you elect me governor and Ron Sparks as Agriculture Commissioner, Ron and I will do all we can to keep family farms like Donald’s in business.

Well it’s about damn time. Your Democratic colleagues have been proposing elimination of the tax on groceries for years, I have been talking about it since I started my campaign, but it takes the realization of the possibility of losing the governorship and a bunch of seats in the legislature 2 weeks before the election for you guys to have an election year conversion for something that should be happened years ago while you have been in charge.

I was proud to join Pro Tem Gudger, Rep. Rex Reynolds, Rep. James Lomax, Rep. Phillip Rigsby, and Senator Sam Givhan this morning to announce our joint plan to fully eliminate Alabama’s grocery tax. Combined with the 50% already cut over the last four years, this will put almost $500 back into the pockets of Alabamians. The bill is drafted and will be a day one priority of the 2027 Session.

What an amazing day on the water in and around Mobile Bay. Sadly there is so much happening around the bay these days that threatens the livelihoods and quality of life of so many residents. There is nothing inconsistent with economic development and preserving the natural wonders and biodiversity of the entire region. But if we are not careful it will be lost for future generations. Stay tuned for more videos to come.

This bus tour isn’t stopping until November 3. This week we rolled through the Black Belt, meeting folks in Chilton, Lowndes, Montgomery, Perry, Hale, Marengo, Choctaw, and Washington counties before attending the Washington County vs. McIntosh homecoming game last night. Too often, rural communities get left out of the conversation in Montgomery. As governor, I’ll make our rural counties a priority.

Tommy flip flops his position on data centers but can’t keep from flipping back. Different words but means the same: “we’re gonna do data centers” and community concerns are “bullcrap.”
