Farmers top concerns in Alabama U.S. House race

(The Center Square) - Candidates for the U.S. House in a redrawn Alabama district are divided over agricultural policy and tariffs in a race that has garnered national attention. U.S. Rep. Shomari Figures, D-Ala., and Republican candidate Rhett Marques will face off in Alabama’s 2nd Congressional District race in November. In June, the U.S. Supreme Court affirmed Alabama’s use of a 2023 congressional map that would favor Republicans. Previously, Alabama used a congressional map that included a majority-Black district in accordance with the Voting Rights Act. However, the nation’s highest court in April dismantled the portion of the Voting Rights Act that allowed for the creation of majority-minority congressional districts across the southeast United States. In Alabama, this allowed Republicans to shift the district in favor of the GOP. Rising gas and diesel prices due to the U.S. military conflict in Iran have affected the agricultural industry throughout the country. Rising agricultural costs have become a campaign issue in Alabama’s 2nd Congressional District. The average price of gas in Alabama is $3.93 per gallon, according to AAA. Marques visited a family farm in Dale County, Alabama, on Wednesday with Rep. Austin Scott, R-Ga. He criticized Figures for voting against the
