Sewell Statement on the Adoption of a Fair Alabama Congressional Map | 2023-10-05 | 2023 | 2023-10 | Democrat | House | AL | Terri A. Sewell | S001185 | sewell.house.gov | sewell | https://sewell.house.gov/press-releases | scraper | Birmingham, AL – Today, U.S. Rep. Terri Sewell (AL-07) released the following statement on the adoption of a fair Alabama congressional map: “After numerous hearings, three Supreme Court rulings, and unprecedented defiance by state officials, the voters of Alabama finally have a fair congressional map! “While we celebrate this historic victory, the continued resistance that we face from state officials should not be lost on anyone. This long and arduous battle over Alabama’s congressional map serves as a solemn reminder that efforts to deny fair representation to Black and minority voters are still alive and well. “Now more than ever, we must restore the FULL protections of the Voting Rights Act. We need the John R. Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act and we need it now.” | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T00:49:26Z |
