Senator Doug Jones announced a state tour of Alabama on Friday. This is Jones first tour since being sworn into office in January.

Jones’ plan is to travel across Alabama, stopping in Birmingham, Huntsville, Montgomery, Mobile, Selma, Centreville, and Muscle Shoals, highlighting crucial changes that need to be made in the cities he visits. The newly elected U.S. Senator plans to speak on several issues including rural healthcare, defense, infrastructure, workforce development, and education.

“It’s been a privilege to represent Alabama in Washington, but there’s nothing like getting home and hearing from folks first-hand,” said Jones. “I’m eager to hit the road and visit with as many Alabamians across the state as I can next week. We’re going to focus on the issues that are most important to our communities, from healthcare to jobs to education.”
