John –

As you know, I'm a Democrat representing a state that tends to vote for Republicans, and my Senate race is arguably the most competitive in this entire election cycle. 

But none of that was on my mind when I voted to convict the president on both impeachment charges brought against him by Congress.

I made my decision based on evidence.

And while my vote to convict Donald Trump isn’t going to make Mitch McConnell or the extremists he supports happy, it was the right thing to do.

They are already targeting me for standing up for what's right. One dark money special interest group already spent a half a million dollars last week while we were deliberating.

Please, John, I need your help to fight back against these attacks. Will you make a donation to help me win in Alabama and help Catherine take on Mitch McConnell and his megadonors?

John, the evidence clearly proves that the president coerced a foreign government to interfere in our election for his personal political benefit, placing his personal interest above our national interests.

I also believe that the president deliberately obstructed Congress by blocking testimony from witnesses and the production of documents during the course of the investigation. This is unacceptable, but it didn't seem to bother Mitch McConnell.

The stakes are historically high, but to Mitch McConnell and his enablers in Washington, no tactics are off-limits if they lead to more power. That's not how I operate, John. I will continue working hard in the Senate for what's right – defending our health care, civil rights and equality – but I can't do it without your help.

Please, if you care about keeping courageous voices who will fight for what's right for the country – not what's right for Mitch McConnell – pitch in $5 now to support my reelection. Your gift will be put to immediate work supporting my campaign and helping Catherine make sure we can continue defending things like health care, civil rights and equality in the Senate.

Thank you for your support.

Doug Jones
U.S. Senator, Alabama
