Actress Connie Britton endorsed Democratic Senate candidate Doug Jones in a video shared Saturday as he battles Republican Roy Moore before next week’s special election in Alabama.
“I’m supporting Doug Jones because he has always stood up for justice, and in the Senate he would fight to bring both sides together to discuss the issues that are important to hardworking families,” Britton said in the video.
“Thank you for the kind words @conniebritton, and the support!” Jones said, sharing the clip.
