Tuesday evening Sen. Doug Jones went to Auburn University to speak to the student Democratic club and others who knew about the town hall type meeting. About 100 students and adults arrived to hear him speak about kitchen-table issues.

His theme is “One Alabama.” Jones wants us all to work together and has been willing to work across the aisle. He said the Senate and House have a lot of nonpartisan bills on Mitch McConnell’s desk waiting for him to put them out for a vote. Apparently, there are a lot of Republican and Democrats who are trying to do the right thing for the country but it is stalled in the legislative graveyard.
