News
Todd Warner is in the news because Tennessee’s new Memphis congressional map is still in effect after a federal panel declined to block it. The ruling keeps the redistricting plan in place for now, even as lawsuits continue to challenge it as racially motivated and harmful to Black voting power. The map splits Memphis into three districts and has already reshaped the race for Tennessee’s 9th Congressional District.
