News
Masika Ray is in the news because court rulings on redistricting could shape the 2026 U.S. House races. The Supreme Court let Texas use its 2025 congressional map for the November 2026 elections, removing a major legal hurdle for a Republican-favored plan. In Virginia, a state court upheld a new Democratic-backed map against a Republican challenge, which could improve Democratic chances if it survives further review. These decisions affect district boundaries, but they do not settle the final House outcome.
