News
Evan Turnage is in the news because Mississippi may redraw its congressional map before the 2026 election cycle, part of a broader Republican push to reshape Southern districts. The move comes after a Supreme Court voting-rights ruling that could weaken majority-Black districts and make it harder for Democrats to hold some House seats. Mississippi Gov. Tate Reeves has said he still wants redistricting, though the timing remains uncertain.
