Congressman Morgan McGarvey Reacts to Supreme Court Ruling on Louisiana v. Callais

WASHINGTON, D.C. (April 29, 2026) - Today, Congressman Morgan McGarvey released the following statement after the Supreme Court ruling in Louisiana v. Callais:

"This Supreme Court decision is a generational setback for American democracy - one that threatens to drag us back to a dark time in our nation's history. Not since Jim Crow have we seen this level of systemic disenfranchisement of Black voters.

"It's despicable, and we will not sit back and allow the Court to further erode the hard-fought right to fair representation for Black Americans.

"Congress must pass the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act to undo this harm and prevent future attempts to silence Black voters."
