He said it in his victory speech. I mean, there's a ton more that he can acknowledge, but he couldn't have thanked them for his win any sooner than he did.
Or even if they stay GOP, they'll learn to like Jones. It got buried under the anti-Moore coverage (which rightfully deserved to be front-and-center), but Jones is an upstanding guy in his own right. And not just compared to a looney pedophile.
One of the things I remember (vaguely) from last night was about CHIP, which is one of those issues that affects a lot of African American communities in Alabama, so he was already pushing to help the people who voted for him.
He specifically called out the black community, Latinos, and Jews. While this victory definitely belongs to black Alabamans, I have to think the 10,000+ Jews in Birmingham probably helped too.
He also mentioned CHIP as one of his top priorities - a program that helps a great many impoverished African American families. It seems very obvious that he cares deeply about the black people struggling in his state.
