Received this e-mail today from U.S. Senator Maggie Hassan (D. NH) in support of prosecutor Doug Jones’ (D. AL) U.S. Senate campaign:
You saw this, right?
We officially have a Democratic nominee in the special election to replace Jeff Sessions in Alabama: Doug Jones.
Doug Jones is a former U.S. attorney who successfully prosecuted two KKK members responsible for the 16th Street Baptist Church bombing.
He’s also the son of a steelworker, father, and lifelong resident of Alabama.
This race is sure to be in the spotlight. Doug is running in deep red Alabama, and the momentum is on his side. He can win, but only if each and every person in this community has his back.
Hitting tonight’s $7,000 fundraising goal is the best – and maybe only – way that we can send Doug to victory and elect someone who will prioritize civil rights. Give $3 or whatever you can so that we can hit our goal and replace Jeff Sessions with someone who will fight for our shared progressive values.
The deadline is TONIGHT, so please hurry — we really can't afford to come up short.
Thanks so much for being part of the team fighting to elect a leader for equality,
Team Maggie
