Mobile, last night was amazing! Thank you to everybody who came out to kick off our Rally for Alabama tour, and to my good friend @jasonisbell for bringing the house down.
We’ve got 40 days to go, and we’re going to spend every one of them taking this campaign to folks in every corner of Alabama. With your help, we’re going to win this thing on November 3!
Stay tuned for our next stop on the tour!

On his SEC teleconference, LSU coach Lane Kiffin recasts the Ole Miss loss, saying more is made of it because of the Oxford return drama.

The two 30-second ads were paid for by the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, U.S. House Democrats’ fundraising arm, and Figures’ campaign committee.

It's always a good conversation when I meet with the students at Tuskegee. I got to hear about the issues that matter most and their ideas about the changes they would like to see in their community. These students are definitely leaders in the making. ❤️💛 (Photos courtesy of Tuskegee University)
Do not write off the South! Scott Colom can win in Mississippi. He needs resources to compete. The Democratic Party must invest in Black voters and the South.
Remember: The pundits didn’t think we could win in Georgia until we did.

NEWS:
A source familiar says Gov. Pritzker’s Ready for the Fight PAC is placing ad buys in three CBC target districts starting today: #AL02 for Shomari Figures, #AR02 for Chris Jones and #TN09 for Justin Pearson.
"The PAC is putting resources behind all three races as part of its congressional efforts. Figures is a frontline incumbent who was redistricted into a district that went for Trump by roughly 14 points, while Jones and Pearson are challengers."
Montgomery, Alabama Mayor Steven Reed (D) on Rep. Shomari Figures (D-AL) seat being redrawn: "We have to understand how to operate in this new environment. This is not the Obama era."
