Doug Jones: “That’s what’s important about this campaign. That’s what we’ve been talking about.”

That we will not just shirk, but we will abandon our duty to children in this state to get them educated in the best way, and we abandon it in favor of political pandering.

Our universities are more than sports; they’re what’s driving the engine of the Business Council of Alabama. For God’s sake, they’re what’s driving our economy.

But this campaign was never about me; it was always about giving the people of Alabama choices, fresh ideas, and hope for a better future.

Just for you, I embarrassed the hell out of myself. As you have heard from this stage, tomorrow we have a historic opportunity to change the direction of this state.
