Advocate reporter Tess Vrbin was at the Democrat’s election watch party, where he spoke after Republican Sarah Huckabee Sanders declared victory.

“We are all God’s children and we will fight for all God’s children,” says Jones, a pastor and scientist from Pine Bluff.

“This was always about realizing freedom’s promise… when we’re actually free to fight with each other and not against each other.” #argov
