Figures Issues Statement on District Court Blocking Alabama from Using 2023 Intentionally Discriminatory Congressional Map

WASHINGTON - Today, Congressman Shomari C. Figures (AL-02) issued the following statement after the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Alabama issued a preliminary injunction prohibiting Alabama from implementing a new congressional district map:

"I am pleased with the Court's decision, but this case is still not over. Although we expected the Court to reach this decision given the overwhelming evidence, we fully expect the State to immediately appeal the decision to the Supreme Court. This is a significant step in the right direction, but there is still a long way to go before this fight is settled."
