5 Reactions to 'Ten Commandments Judge' Roy Moore Winning GOP Primary Runoff
Doug Jones
Democrat Doug Jones, Roy Moore's opponent in the Dec. 12 election, released a statement late Tuesday evening in which he bemoaned what he believed was a lack of focus on issues like healthcare and the economy.
"The people of Alabama deserve a senator who will put aside partisan rancor and address the real needs facing the people of this state," said Jones, whose statement did not mention Moore by name.
"Even though I was not on the ballot today, our campaign has been building momentum for weeks with hundreds of volunteers signing up to join our effort, Republicans reaching out to us throughout the state, and our campaign just finishing our strongest week of fundraising."
