It’s no secret that African-Americans came out to vote and were responsible for helping Jones win.

‘No question about it, I mean it was an incredible effort. It was a combination of as they say boots on the ground and a massive effort on knocking on the doors,” explained Jones. “Leaders across the state who got behind the campaign. And the messages that we were talking about.”

“Absolutely, we have started the process of gathering our resumes. You know I’ll be honest with you,” expressed Joens.  “The one great thing really for me that has been so gratifying is that with all the attention that this race has garnered we’re attracting some really top talent from both within Alabama and outside the state.”
