U.S. Rep. Shomari Figures (D-Montgomery) has again accused state legislators of working to undermine black voters in Alabama's second congressional district through restricting racially based gerrymandering in the Yellowhammer State.

Brewbaker is one of the few candidates on either side of the aisle to live in the newly re-drawn second district and, according to political insiders, is the front-runner for the Republican nomination.

Republican candidate Dick Brewbaker announced Thursday that Wallace Gilberry endorsed his campaign for the Republican nomination in the second congressional district. Gilberry was originally a candidate in the race but dropped out on January 8.
