Louisiana’s Sixth District is shaking up the redistricting game as Rep. Cleo Fields, a Democrat, announces he won’t seek reelection after the state legislature redrawn the map to favor Republicans — a move the Supreme Court recently deemed unconstitutional. Fields, who served two terms and was once the second Black lawmaker from Louisiana in Congress, says he’s stepping aside after prayerful reflection and plans to run for the state Senate instead. The new district leans heavily into white-majority areas around Baton Rouge, part of a national tug-of-war over gerrymandering — echoing similar rulings in Alabama and reshaping the political landscape ahead of the midterms.
