Alabama: SCOTUS Rejects Alabama Redistricting Appeal: The US Supreme Court yesterday affirmed the three-judge panel ruling that will allow a special master to draw the new Alabama congressional map after the legislature and Governor’s map was rejected. The result of the redraw will likely pair Reps. Jerry Carl (R-Mobile) and Barry Moore (R-Enterprise) and create a new black majority district anchored in Montgomery County. This will almost assuredly mean a one-seat gain for the Democrats in the 6R-1D Alabama congressional delegation.
IL-5: Rep. Quigley to Seek Re-Election: Rumors had been prevalent that eight-term Rep. Mike Quigley (D-Chicago) was contemplating retirement. Yesterday, the Congressman made clear, however, that he intends to seek re-election next year. "Reports of my demise are greatly exaggerated. There’s a lot still to do ... I’m not in the first quarter of my political career, but I’m not in the last quarter either," Mr. Quigley said yesterday in saying that he will run again. PA-10: Race Against Rep. Scott Perry Becoming Voluminous: The third Democratic challenger hoping to face six-term Rep. Scott Perry (R-Dillsburg/Harrisburg) announced his candidacy yesterday. International business consultant John Broadhurst has joined the Democratic primary field that includes 2022 nominee Shamaine Daniels, a member of the Harrisburg City Council, and Carlisle School Board Member Rick Coplen. Former Lancaster television news anchor Janele Stelson is also expected to soon become a Democratic congressional candidate. The FiveThirtyEight data organization rates PA-10 as R+9. The Daily Kos Elections site ranks the seat as the 37th most vulnerable district in the Republican Conference. Therefore, the data again favors Rep. Perry regardless of who wins the upcoming Democratic primary. Comments are closed.
