Montgomery Mayor Steven Reed has endorsed Shomari Figures as the Democrat candidate for Alabama’s second congressional district race, following a redistricting rewrite ordered by a federal court. The district spans from Montgomery to Mobile and is seen as crucial in determining which party controls the House next year. Figures emphasized the importance of bringing resources back to the community if elected to Congress, stressing the need for strong partnerships at all levels of government. Caroleene Dobson, Figures’ Republican opponent, downplayed the endorsement as expected in Alabama politics. The race is gaining national attention as both parties vie for control of the House.
