Former Sen. and current Alabama gubernatorial candidate Doug Jones (D) has vowed to replace members of the state's library board who banned trans books from children's and young adult sections in the state's public libraries. The board's former chairman, John Wahl, who is currently running for Alabama lieutenant governor, has fired back, accusing Jones of wanting to expose young people to "sexually explicit" material and "perversion."

Finebaum made his bones as a newspaper reporter in Birmingham, Alabama, in the 1980s, and moved up the media ladder from there. He was a popular Southern sports talk radio host by the '90s, operated his own syndicated network in the 2000s, and by 2013 had become an inescapable presence on ESPN. The Paul Finebaum Show has made him the de facto voice of the Southeastern Conference, so omnipresent that even a handful of his recurring callers are minor internet celebrities.

This campaign is so about the policies, the policies that improve the lives of people, and not the personalities.
