"Figures and Dobson Set for Historic Showdown in Alabama's Redrawn District 2"

Shomari Figures and Caroleene Dobson emerged as the Democratic and Republican nominees, respectively, in the primary runoff for Alabama's redrawn 2nd Congressional District. Figures, a former Obama administration staffer, defeated Alabama House Minority Leader Anthony Daniels, while Dobson, a first-time candidate, bested former state senator Dick Brewbaker. The new map presents a chance for Democrats to flip a Republican seat, with Figures aiming to become the second Black lawmaker and second Democrat in Alabama's seven-member congressional delegation.
