Alabama Democrat @SenDougJones: “We do not believe that the government should be shut down and the people of this country held hostage just for a political purpose that the President has right now. It is too important that government function, and function efficiently.” #CNNSOTU pic.twitter.com/4H7NiMeKhj

Sen. Jones, along with @SenCortezMasto, @SenKamalaHarris & @SenWarren, led a letter this week to 100+ key stakeholders nationwide to solicit feedback that can help improve federal policies for student borrowers of color. Read more about this effort here: sen.gov/5VYZ

Students of color are more likely to borrow & less likely to be able to pay down their debt than their white peers – even if they graduate. This debt burden can cause financial distress & affect their ability to build their path to the middle class. pic.twitter.com/e4f9CMSNQ6

"These are not Democratic funding bills that are coming out of the House – they are bipartisan Senate bills that have already earned overwhelming support. This proposal is the common ground we need to get back to the business of governing." pic.twitter.com/iLC6dRZyE8

3/3: In essence, my vote tonight was a vote to proceed to find common ground. It is only by finding common ground that we can fulfill our duty to govern effectively. -Doug

2/3: Working w/ @SenBobCorker & @JeffFlake, and leadership of both parties, a commitment was forged that we would proceed with debate but that no further votes would be taken until an agreement is reached that would pass both houses of Congress and be signed by the President.

1/3: On Wednesday, the Senate passed with unanimous bipartisan support a bill that would have funded the federal government. Unfortunately, the House sent us a bill that clearly could not earn the necessary votes to pass in the Senate. pic.twitter.com/YmxX1DqNuq

Important: The Civil Rights Cold Case Records Collection Act – introduced by @SenDougJones – passed the Senate unanimously this week. The House should pass this bipartisan bill to add transparency to civil rights cold cases before it adjourns for the year. bit.ly/2PPiUrg

I agree – more prisons aren’t the answer. In the Senate, we just passed the #FirstStepAct to begin reforming our criminal justice system, but we need leaders to step up at the state and local levels, too. -Doug twitter.com/dothaneagle/st…

With the #FirstStepAct, we have an opportunity to make history by working together to solve one of the most important, most challenging issues of our time. I urge the Senate to take the first step by passing this vital legislation. – Doug pic.twitter.com/A6SbjoeNia

I understand how important it is to confront the darkest moments in our history so we can begin to heal together. I thank @tedcruz for his partnership in passing this bill in the Senate this evening & look forward to seeing this bill through the House & to the President. – Doug twitter.com/SenDougJones/s…

As a recreational fisherman myself, I knew I wanted to be a part of this effort to bring our fisheries management practices into the 21st century. This is a smart policy change that will protect our fish stocks & support a vital part of our state’s economy. - Doug twitter.com/sportfishpolic…
