Louisiana Rep. Cleo Fields announces he will not seek reelection after his district was redrawn following a Supreme Court ruling
Democratic U.S. Rep. Cleo Fields announced Tuesday he would not seek reelection to his redrawn Louisiana congressional district. The Supreme Court had ruled that his majority-Black district relied too heavily on race and constituted an unconstitutional gerrymander. The state legislature subsequently redrew the district to favor Republicans, clustering it around predominantly white communities in the Baton Rouge area.
