I want to take a moment to recognize and thank Senator Doug Jones for his service in the U.S. Senate and to the people of Alabama. In just 2 years, Senator Jones has become a respected voice in the Senate and built a reputation as someone who puts the interests of his constituents before partisanship or ideology. It has been a privilege working alongside him during the 116th Congress. Senator Jones's achievements are remarkable for a first-term Senator. I was proud to work with him on his Military Widow's Tax Elimination Act, which helps ensure that nearly 70,000 surviving military spouses receive their full benefits, as he shepherded this important legislation through Congress. He has also passed legislation to expand insurance coverage for COVID-19 vaccines and treatments, helped his rural constituents navigate the healthcare system, and promoted justice for victims in unsolved criminal civil rights cases. I am proud to have worked with him on my legislation to expand workforce development programs and hands-on learning in high schools. These incredible accomplishments demonstrate the hard work and dedication that Senator Jones brought to the Senate. He is a man with unwavering principles but a strong drive to find common ground and bring tangible benefits to the people of Alabama. Senator Jones's legacy in the Senate is one I hope we can all remember as we look to work together for the betterment of our States and the Nation.…
