Louisiana Rep. Cleo Fields won’t seek reelection after Democrat’s seat was redrawn

Democratic U.S. Rep. Cleo Fields announced he will not seek reelection to his redrawn Louisiana congressional district following a U.S. Supreme Court ruling that deemed the district an unconstitutional gerrymander based on race. Fields plans to run for a seat in the Louisiana State Senate instead. The district's redrawing by the state legislature aimed to favor Republicans in the upcoming midterm elections.
