Priorities USA Congratulates Senator-elect Doug Jones

Washington, DC — Priorities USA Chairman Guy Cecil released the following statement congratulating Doug Jones on his victory in the Alabama special election for US Senate:

“Doug Jones has spent decades fighting for Alabamians and will now have the opportunity to continue to do so in the United States Senate. The people of Alabama sent a message tonight by putting country and state ahead of partisan politics and all Americans will now benefit from their decision. Unfortunately, the same cannot be said for Donald Trump and national Republicans, who supported a child molester who wants an America where being gay is a criminal offense, women shouldn’t run for office, and African Americans are discriminated against at the ballot box, all in service to tax cuts for the rich. This is a stain on the Republican Party that will last forever. We will make sure of it.”

“Priorities USA was proud to stand up for Doug and against a pedophile by partnering with Senate Majority PAC to run a $1.5 million digital campaign focused on persuading and mobilizing Alabama’s voters, particularly those in the African American community, beginning even before the news broke about allegations against Roy Moore.”
