Received this e-mail today from U.S. Senator Cory Booker (D. NJ) in support of Doug Jones’ (D. AL) U.S. Senate campaign:
There’s a special election for Alabama’s open U.S. Senate seat coming up in December, and the differences between the candidates could not be more stark.
The Republicans recently nominated Judge Roy Moore — an ultra-right politician who has said that 9/11 may have been punishment from God. He’s referred to Native Americans and Asians using blatantly derogatory terms. He was suspended from the Alabama Supreme Court for ordering judges to defy federal orders regarding marriage equality.
Moore is so extreme that Republican groups have spent millions of dollars warning the people of Alabama about his radical record. As Democrats, we must now do everything we can to stop Moore and his far-right agenda.
That’s where Democratic nominee, Doug Jones, comes in — and while he faces a tough race in a state that voted overwhelmingly for President Trump, he has a real shot at winning. But he needs our help.
Will you chip in $10 to stop Moore’s extreme far-right politics, and help elect Doug Jones to the Senate?
Doug Jones is a lifelong Alabamian who has proven time and time again to be a principled leader who fights for what’s right.
As a former U.S. Attorney, Jones successfully prosecuted two of the KKK members who bombed the 16th Street Church in the 1960s that resulted in the tragic deaths of four young girls. For decades, these KKK members who carried out this heinous act remained free until Jones was able to bring them to justice.
This fight for justice and a strong moral compass — that’s what Doug Jones will bring to the Senate and the people of Alabama.
We need to ensure Doug has the resources to win the general election in December. Will you chip in $10 to help elect Doug Jones to the Senate?
Thank you,
Cory
