Doug Jones: “Our universities are more than sports; they’re what’s driving the engine of the Business Council of Alabama. For God’s…”

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.

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

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.’

While we came up short in this election, we accomplished so much together that I believe will bode well for Alabama in the future.
