DCCC Chair Statement on the Selection of New Alabama Congressional Map

DCCC Chair Suzan DelBene released the following statement after the District Court of the Northern District of Alabama selected a new congressional map for Alabama:

“The District Court’s selection of a new, fair Congressional map for Alabama is a victory for democracy and the state’s Black communities who have been denied equal representation in the House of Representatives for too long.

“Today’s decision affirms that Alabama will no longer have a map that dilutes the voting strength of Black citizens, but rather one that reflects the diversity of the state and ensures every community’s voice is heard in Congress.

“I applaud the plaintiffs, community advocates, and countless other voices who have fought to stop Republicans in Alabama from imposing discriminatory districts at the expense of communities of color. Today is a testament to their incredible work.”
