Callais.\n\nCongresswoman Nikema Williams (GA-05) said:\n\n\u201cGeorgia voters deserve representation, not maps rigged by politicians to protect their own power. For too long, partisan gerrymandering has divided Black communities and diluted the power of Black voters who are central to Georgia\u2019s democracy.\n\nThe Eleventh Circuit\u2019s decision means Georgia\u2019s maps will once again be reviewed under the new standards established in Louisiana v. Callais. But no court decision changes this fundamental principle: Black voters deserve the opportunity to elect candidates of their choice, and their political power cannot be erased at the mapmaking table.\n\nVoters should choose their representatives\u2013politicians shouldn\u2019t choose their voters. I will keep fighting against partisan gerrymandering and for fair maps that protect Black representation. We must ensure every Georgian\u2019s voice is heard.\u201d", 1, "2026-08-27T16:10:01Z", "2026-08-27T16:10:50Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://nikemawilliams.house.gov/posts/congresswoman-nikema-williams-statement-on-the-eleventh-circuit-courts-decision-on-georgia-district-maps"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 2.589727286249399, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
