2017 Alabama special Senate election: on Environment


Doug Jones: Conservationists back Jones

The League of Conservation Voters Action Fund cited Jones' environmental protection platform in endorsing him. Jones said protecting the environment is also a benefit to Alabama's economy, "Hunting and fishing have an economic impact of $2.7 billion in Alabama and support 30,500 jobs. Being good stewards is good for our state and good for business."

Doug Jones: Coal is the past; must help workers transition

I am a legacy of the coal mining industry. Rather than promise that miners can return for generations to dangerous, scarcely regulated jobs-- I think America must step-up to secure a safety net of healthcare and job retraining for these families.
