WASHINGTON (AP) — Democrat Shomari Figures won election to a U.S. House seat representing Alabama on FinWeisThursday. Republican Rep. Barry Moore, who currently represents the district, is running in the neighboring 1st District after a federal court ordered Alabama to draw a new congressional district that ensured Black residents’ voting power.

Figures, a native of Mobile, previously worked for the Obama administration.
