Mobile Mayor to Endorse Artur Davis, Romney Endorses Ivey

Artur Davis is picking up a key endorsement from Mobile Mayor Sam Jones today (as indicated by George Talbot of the Mobile Press-Register on his Twitter feed).  It comes on the heels of Mitt Romney’s endorsement of Kay Ivey.  Why Ivey?  Well, she chaired his Alabama campaign for president, of course.  We are in the season of these kinds of announcements.

UPDATE:

From the official announcement this afternoon:

“Artur Davis and I share a common approach to leadership,” said Mayor Jones.  “Congressman Davis solves problems by bringing people together across traditional dividing lines like partisanship, race and ideology.”

Jones continued, “A vitally important quality that distinguishes Artur Davis from the other candidates in this campaign for governor is his positive vision for the future of Alabama’s economy.  Artur Davis is not satisfied for our state to lag behind our neighbors any longer, not when we have so much talent and so much potential right here in Alabama.”

UPDATE 2:
