Who is my U.S. representative in AL-02?
This is currently in flux due to redistricting litigation. Here's where things stand: Currently serving: Shomari Figures, a Democrat, has represented Alabama's 2nd Congressional District since January 3, 2025. GovTrack.us But this is about to change: The Supreme Court cleared the way for Alabama to use a Republican-favored congressional map, overturning a lower court ruling that had found the previous map "tainted by intentional race-based discrimination." As a result, Figures will likely lose his seat, and Alabama's 2026 midterms will feature six Republican-leaning districts instead of five. NPR NPR Because of this legal back-and-forth, Governor Kay Ivey scheduled special primary elections for August 11, 2026 in the 1st, 2nd, 6th, and 7th congressional districts, and under the newly redrawn map, AL-02 now includes southeastern Wiregrass Region counties (including Coffee County) that previously belonged to the 1st district, while keeping Montgomery County but losing the majority-Black areas of Mobile County it used to include. Wikipedia Wikipedia Candidates in the new AL-02 race: Shomari Figures (incumbent), Hampton Harris, Christian Horn, David Matthews, and Rhett Marques are among those running. Wikipedia Bottom line: Shomari Figures is your current representative, but depending on where exactly you live, you may now be in a redrawn version of the district, and there's a special election happening this year that could change who represents you. If you want, tell me your ZIP code or address and I can look up exactly which district (old or new) you're in.
