“We took great care to preserve the important points that were achieved in the last redistricting effort,” Cooksey said Tuesday. “We’ve maintained four majority-Black districts…The council will now take that under consideration, and it is up to them how to proceed.” On Friday, the city released a proposed new map for the seven council districts.

Mobile Mayor Sandy Stimpson had promised that, even with annexation, the four-seat majority would remain intact.
