“Voting is personal to me, not only because I represent America’s Civil Rights District—but because it was on the streets of my hometown, Selma, Alabama, that foot soldiers shed their blood on the Edmund Pettus Bridge so that all Americans—regardless of race—could vote!” Rep. Sewell said. “I am so proud that, today, the House took critical steps in addressing the Supreme Court’s Shelby decision and passed H.R. 4, the Voting Rights Advancement Act, to restore the Voting Rights Act of 1965 to its full strength.”

U.S. Rep. Terri Sewell (AL-07) introduced H.R. 4, The Voting Rights Advancement Act, to help address the most egregious forms of recent voter suppression by developing a process to determine which states and localities with a recent history of voting rights violations must pre-clear election changes with the Department of Justice.

U.S. Rep. Terri Sewell (AL-07) delivered her 2019 State of the District address, highlighting the work she has done to bring opportunity to Alabama’s 7th District and goals for the year ahead.
