This bill came out of committee with unanimous support, with no one voting against it, and so we anticipate something like this being able to work its way through and get on the House floor soon, but we don’t know exactly when that will be.

There's been a lot of efforts by some to paint this district as a lost cause, saying that we lost a majority Black seat in the state of Alabama. But neither is true.
Well, neither is true. The seat was never majority Black. It's currently about 47% Black. The new district takes that down to about 40% Black. And so we represent everybody.
After careful deliberation, we decided to run in the district that includes the majority of the counties I currently represent, and that provides the best opportunity to continue representing the people of Alabama.
