Doug Jones campaign reports $105K raised from 800 Alabama donors

Newly formed committee shows fast fundraising momentum just days after Jones entered Alabama’s 2026 governor’s race.

Former Alabama Sen. Doug Jones.

The campaign committee supporting Doug Jones’s bid for governor reported a strong early fundraising effort this week, filing its first financial disclosure with the Alabama Secretary of State.

According to the report, Doug for Alabama raised more than $105,000 from over 800 Alabama residents. The committee was organized three business days after Jones announced his candidacy on November 24, 2025, making the filing an early snapshot of donor activity at the outset of the campaign.

The disclosure shows a broad base of in-state contributors, an indicator often watched closely in statewide races as campaigns work to establish momentum and demonstrate organizational strength. Early fundraising totals can play an important role in signaling viability, particularly in a contest expected to draw significant attention ahead of the 2026 election cycle.

Campaign officials said the report reflects only the initial phase of fundraising, as the campaign continues building its statewide operation and preparing for future outreach and events.
