Alabama Doug Jones governor race Tommy Tuberville.

Former U.S. Sen. Doug Jones has launched his campaign for Alabama governor. Jones is the last Democrat to hold statewide office in the state. He told supporters Friday at a rally in Birmingham that Alabama has pressing needs that are not being addressed. The campaign kickoff came on the anniversary of his 2017 Senate win. He could see a rematch in the general election against Republican Sen. Tommy Tuberville, who defeated Jones previously and is also running for governor. Both will have party primaries before that.
