Working for Doug Jones

Progressive Turnout Project supported Doug Jones in the Senate special election. The organization dispatched eight staff members to Birmingham and mobilized its supporters to knock on doors and make phone calls to voters in the final days of the campaign.

“Republicans have truly lowered the bar by putting their full support behind accused child molester Roy Moore,” said Communication Director Priyal Amin. “We refuse to sit on the sidelines while Donald Trump, Mitch McConnell, and the RNC bankroll such a shameful campaign.”

The group said that since the election of President Donald Trump, there has been a blue wave across the country in local and state elections as voters look for a check on Republican power. Progressive Turnout Project said that on Tuesday, Alabama voters have an opportunity to send a sensible voice to Washington to represent working-class values.

“Doug Jones has time and again demonstrated his strong moral character as a former prosecutor on the right side of justice,” Amin said. “Progressive Turnout Project is proud to support him as he stands up and fights for Alabama.”[8]
