Doug Jones: “My goal, one of my goals, has always been to just have a competitive two-party system in this state.”

I make no illusions about the challenges. I’ve said that in my town halls. This is not going to be, ‘These are the things that we want to do, and we’re going to do everything we can to try to find a way to do them.’

The responsibility for Alabama’s future doesn’t rest with one person. It belongs to all of us.

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.

I think narrowing the gap in many places, which I think we can do, is success. Success is a building process.
