Doug Jones

Doug Jones is an attorney and author. He is the first Democrat to win a US Senate election in Alabama since 1992. As US attorney for the Northern District of Alabama, he prosecuted two Ku Klux Klan members for their roles in the 1963 16th Street Baptist Church Bombing, a racially-motivated act of terrorism that claimed the lives of four young girls and helped turn the tide in the struggle for civil rights. He also secured an indictment against Centennial Olympic Park bomber Eric Rudolph.
