State Sen. Scott Surovell (D)
Also waiting for the statement from @CoreyStewartVA who went to @AlSen to campaign this week – Looks like the “criminals, communists, crackheads and wierdos” won Alabama. What happened?

Commitment. Dedication. Hard work. Virginia 2017 and Alabama 2017 prove it; when Democrats talk to voters, when Democrats put in the work, Democrats win! #organize always. Well done, Alabama — now lets keep this wave rolling across the entire nation!

Congratulations Senator-elect @GDouglasJones! In #Virginia and #Alabama, and throughout our country, the #resistance is strong!

Please take note: One of the main reasons we did so well in VA is we had volunteers inside the commonwealth & across the country working hard for our candidates for months.
The same happened in Alabama.
Your volunteer efforts matter so much. Please keep it going in ’18 & ’19!— Danica Roem (@pwcdanica) December 13, 2017
Sky’s the limit! Whoa! A Democrat elected in Alabama! #ThereIsHope

Last night, Alabama voted for self respect and against bigotry.
— Gerry Connolly (@GerryConnolly) December 13, 2017
And how was that winning combination put together? With help from groups all over the country-phone calls, donations, personal outreach to Alabamians from family & friends-supporting & amplifying the work of @GDouglasJones' campaign on the ground. First VA, now AL. #KeepItGoing https://t.co/udGtz4NNdQ
