In a special election on December 12, 2017, Alabama 

chose Democrat Doug Jones over Republican and 

allegedsexual predator Roy Moore. 

Jones will now head to the U.S. Senate, bringing to a 

close an election that drew national and international 

attention—unusual for a state election, but even more 

so for Alabama.

Much of the media attention on Jones, the first Democrat 

elected in the state in a quarter century, focused on his 

role in prosecuting Ku Klux Klan members who had 

planted a bomb that killed four girls at a black church.
