News
DeVante Hill is in the news because Tennessee Republicans approved a new congressional map that could eliminate the state’s lone Democratic House seat and reshape the Memphis-based 9th District. The redistricting plan splits Shelby County into multiple Republican-leaning districts and has already prompted legal and political pushback. The latest reporting says the map has now been signed into law, and it could change the race Hill is involved in if it survives court challenges.
