Healthcare

News
DeVante Hill is in the news because Tennessee Republicans approved a new congressional map that could eliminate the state’s lone Democratic U.S. House seat and reshape the Memphis-based 9th District. The redistricting plan splits Shelby County into multiple Republican-leaning districts and has already been signed into law, with legal challenges expected. The changes have also prompted Steve Cohen to say he will not seek re-election unless a court challenge restores the old map.
