DeKALB COUNTY, Ala. — U.S. Senator Doug Jones (D-AL) will host a town hall next month in Rainsville. 

The event will be on Wednesday, September 4 at 6pm at Northeast Alabama Community College in Lecture Room #106 at the Health Education Building.

Jones has been holding town halls across the State of Alabama ahead of his re-election bid for a full term in the United States Senate next November. He is unopposed in the Democratic primary. 

Jones won his seat during a special election in 2017 to replace now-former U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions. He defeated former Chief Justice of the Alabama Supreme Court Roy Moore by a margin of 1.7 percent. 

Jones is just one of two Democratic senators up for re-election in a state that President Donald J. Trump won in the 2016 election. The other is Senator Gary Peters of Michigan. 

The election for United States Senate next year will be held on November 3, 2020. The primary elections are on March 3, 2020.
