Doug Jones Announces Bid for Alabama Governor in 2026
Former U.S. Senator Doug Jones has officially entered the race for Alabama governor, launching his Democratic campaign and filing the necessary paperwork. This comes five years after his defeat to Republican Tommy Tuberville in the Senate race. Jones aims to challenge Tuberville again in a likely rematch, as recent polls indicate he may be narrowing the Republican lead in Alabama. While some political analysts remain skeptical about his chances, Jones is determined to seek an upset in the upcoming gubernatorial election.
