"I will bring integrity back to Washington and back to Alabama politics. The people of Alabama have been embarrassed by corruption and a string of ethics investigations and convictions of people they placed into positions of power and trust. They deserve better. We all deserve better.

We are all tired of politicians who have been bought and paid for by special interests and who view the world through a partisan lens instead of considering the best interest of those they are supposed to represent. I will work for the betterment of all of the people of Alabama without regard for partisan politics.

Throughout my career, I have tried to demonstrate honesty, integrity and character while treating everyone as equals. I not only fulfilled my term as U.S. attorney, but continued as a special prosecutor to ensure the successful prosecution of two men who bombed a place of worship, killing four innocent little girls.

This race is not about Democrats or Republicans. It is about the people of Alabama – giving them honest answers while working to protect their health care, rights and economic interests.

I swore an oath to the Constitution. I vowed to protect the people of the United States against all enemies. I upheld that oath and ensured the folks who committed heinous acts never walked our streets again. I will take my oath as senator just as seriously and ensure I not only represent all the citizens of Alabama, but do so with integrity."

booklet they send you on election issues and people? Basically what it said was that he lived on 5th Avenue. (Lah-dee-dah.)

In any state besides Alabama he'd probably be a shoo in.
I'm 'slightly' involved in his campaign.

The Moore-Ons are painting him as PRO ABORTION.
He is no more 'pro' abortion than I am.
But he does support a woman's choice as to what happens to her body, free of government mandate.
I'll go with that.

He prosecuted the guys who bombed the Birmingham church, which is a huge deal down here.
Every once in a while a good guy comes along and gets elected.
