Meet the candidates: PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES
KAMALA HARRIS
DONALD TRUMP
Republican Nominee for President
Democratic Nominee for President
​A notable race this year is the U.S. House race for Alabama's new 2nd Congressional District. The City of Mobile is located in the new CD-2, and voters in Mobile have the opportunity to elect a representative to Congress who truly represents their values. Some background: the new CD-2 is the result of Allen v. Milligan, a U.S. Supreme Court case that ordered the State of Alabama to draw fair maps – ones that did not attempt to dilute the voting power of Black Americans. The result is a new district that gives Black voters an opportunity at fairer representation.​
