Figures, a Mobile native and former official in the Justice Department, faces Republican Caroleene Dobson in the race in Alabama's redrawn District 2.
Figures joined a parade of speakers warming up the crowd of delegates for Vice President Kamala Harris, who will accept her party’s nomination later tonight.
“America, it’s time we pop out and vote,” Figures said. “It’s time we pop out from California, to Alabama, and all across America, and we show them that we are not going back, we are going forward. And we are going forward with Kamala Harris as the next president of the United States of America. Thank you. God bless you. Roll Tide. Let’s go win this thing.
