New Louisiana Map Boosts GOP, Keeps Only One Black-Majority Seat
The Louisiana state legislature has approved a new congressional district map that favors the GOP while eliminating one black-majority district. The map, which is expected to be signed into law by Governor Jeff Landry, retains one black-majority district but removes the seat held by Rep. Cleo Fields. This decision follows a U.S. Supreme Court ruling that deemed the previous map unconstitutional, prompting redistricting efforts across several southern states.
- ▪The new congressional map was approved by the Louisiana legislature in a 28-10 vote.
- ▪The map eliminates Rep. Cleo Fields' seat, which was the 6th Congressional District.
- ▪Governor Jeff Landry is expected to sign the new map into law shortly.
