Following weeks of hints and speculation, it’s official: former U.S. Sen. Doug Jones plans to enter the Alabama governor’s race against current U.S. Sen. Tommy Tuberville.

The news was first reported on “The Voice of Alabama Politics,” an online news and analysis show hosted by Bill Britt, editor of the Alabama Political Reporter. AL.com has independently confirmed the announcement.

“I got a call from those very, very close to former U.S. Senator Doug Jones," said Bill Britt, editor of the Alabama Political Reporter. "And we can now report with certainty that Doug Jones will file his paperwork with the Secretary of State this coming week to run for governor of Alabama.”

Jones had previously hinted that he would seek the Democratic nomination. Asked about it at a forum held by U.S. Rep. Terri Sewell in Birmingham earlier this month, he said, “Stay tuned.”

Jones represented Alabama in the U.S. Senate from 2018 to 2021. He lost to former Auburn football coach Tuberville, who went on to become the state’s senior senator.
