Add a Jefferson County Commissioner's name to the list of candidates who'll vie for Alabama's new District 2 congressional seat. Sheila Tyson, the former Birmingham City Councilor who's represented District 2 on the county commission since 2018, says she's excited about the possibility of representing Alabamians in Washington, D.C. 'I have been drafted [to run] by votes and elected officials since the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that Alabama's congressional maps had to be redrawn to include a second Black opportunity district,' she said Thursday.
