## Resource

Alabamas Second Congressional District undergoes a significant map overhaul, with Republican Hampton Harris as the lone GOP candidate in the special election on August eleventh. The primary begins May nineteenth, following a Supreme Court ruling against race-based district lines. The original lines return, potentially benefiting Republicans. Incumbent Democrat Shomari Figures faces a challenge as the seat could swing back red. Harris emphasizes his grassroots efforts and conservative priorities, with more candidates expected to join the race. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
