Louisiana lawmakers pass congressional redistricting bill

📺This was the mood on the floor Thursday.

Republican Congressman Clay Higgins says he is “100% opposed” to Louisiana’s proposed new congressional map. Democratic State Rep. Edmond Jordan agreed.

Rep. Edmond Jordan: “I never thought I’d see the day that I’d agree with Representative Clay Higgins but I guess hell has frozen over”.

The convo was over [another]amended map that drops a majority-Black district and continues to draw concern around representation in a state whereby Black Louisianans make up about 1/3 of the population.

The map advanced through the House floor on Thursday anyway.

WHAT’S HAPPENING NOW?
✅ The Senate agreed on SB121 on a 28-10 vote.
✅It will head to Gov. Jeff Landry’s desk.
✅If signed this could set Louisiana’s congressional elections back in motion.

The group say shelters are turning victims away, millions in federal funding have been lost, and requests for victim housing, legal aid, and fatality review funding went unmet.
