After redistricting moved Marques to a different district, Britt’s support shifted to Carl, who received a $10,000 donation and a public statement of backing. Carl, who’s known Britt and her family for years, sees the staff-level talks as a positive sign, emphasizing that political alliances can—and do—change, especially in the fluid world of special elections. Both candidates are now locked in a race on August 11th, with Carl targeting District One and Marques District Two. It’s a vivid reminder that in politics, nothing’s set in stone.
