DNC Congratulates Democratic Nominee Doug Jones on His Victory in the Alabama Democratic Gubernatorial Primary Arrow

The DNC congratulates Alabama's Democratic gubernatorial nominee, Doug Jones, and all the Democratic candidates who clinched victory tonight and will appear on the ballot in November.

Across Alabama, Democratic voters backed candidates like former Senator Jones who are focused on lowering costs, protecting healthcare, and fighting for Alabama's working families. Democrats are fired up to support Jones, who will be a governor for every Alabamian.

In response to Jones' victory, DNC Chair Ken Martin released the following statement:

"Senator Doug Jones has a proven track record of delivering for Alabama's working families, and as governor he will protect Alabama values by lowering costs, expanding Medicaid, creating jobs, and ensuring every Alabamian's voice is heard. While Trump's toxic agenda has skyrocketed the cost of living and ripped away Alabamians' healthcare, Jones will fight to make life more affordable and protect their access to care. Democrats have clear momentum on our side, and the DNC is ready to help organize and mobilize voters for Jones to flip the governor's mansion blue this November."
