AGP Executive Report
Last update: 2 hours agoSCOTUS Redistricting: The U.S. Supreme Court cleared the way for Alabama Republicans to use a 2023 congressional map in the 2026 midterms, a move that would eliminate one of the state’s two majority-Black districts; Democrats and civil-rights advocates blasted the decision as a dangerous retreat from the Voting Rights Act, while conservative justices said Alabama was likely to prevail and faulted lower courts for not applying the standards from Louisiana v. Callais. Candidate Reaction: In the wake of the ruling, Rep. Shomari Figures said it signals the end of the Voting Rights Act, while GOP candidates in CD-1 and CD-2 praised the decision as a win for Republican values. Residency Fight: Separate from the map fight, Sen. Tommy Tuberville’s team filed tax-return and property-tax material in his residency challenge, keeping the question of where he actually lives in play. UF Leadership: University of Florida forums begin Wednesday for presidential finalist Stuart Bell, with student, faculty, and staff sessions scheduled at Emerson Alumni Hall. Local Governance & Community: Gov. Kay Ivey ordered flags lowered for late state lawmaker and judge John Amari; Orange Beach Councilman Jerry Johnson resigned to care for his hospitalized grandson; and TARCOG announced a tri-county career fair for case managers and senior employment roles.
