Doug Jones continues to work hard for out-of-state Democrats

—

September 27, 2018

Doug Jones on Wednesday tweeted out his support for incumbent Sen. Heidi Heitkamp (D-ND), continuing his efforts to elect Democrats nationwide.

In Heitkamp’s home state of North Dakota, President Donald Trump trounced Secretary Hillary Clinton 64.1 percent to 27.7 percent.

“Unlike her opponent she fights for the values of all her ND constituents every single day. Please step to help,” Jones said.

This comes after Jones has traveled to Democratic Party events in Georgia, Tennessee and Mississippi and campaigned for Hillary Clinton’s ex-running mate Sen. Tim Kaine (D-VA), Democratic House candidate Danny O’Connor (OH-12) and now-Rep. Conor Lamb (PA-18) in the last nine months.

With Jones under a heavy barrage of accusations that he sides with Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) over the people of Alabama, Jones’ proactive support of out-of-state liberals will likely not quiet his critics.
