WASHINGTON – Today, Rep. Shomari C. Figures (AL-02) will honor baseball legends and fellow Mobile, Alabama natives Hank Aaron and Satchel Paige by wearing their jerseys during this year’s Congressional Baseball Game for Charity. The tribute recognizes Aaron’s and Paige’s legacy both on and off the field, as the Congressman joins colleagues for this storied bipartisan tradition in Washington, D.C.

WASHINGTON – This week, Rep. Shomari C. Figures (AL-02) marked 100 days since he was sworn in as a member of the 119th Congress. He has worked to push for policies that will improve the lives of people in Alabama’s 2nd Congressional District, while also fighting back on the Trump Administration’s harmful decisions that will negatively impact the lives of his constituents.  

WASHINGTON – Rep. Shomari C. Figures (AL-02) issued the following statement after he voted no on the Republican continuing resolution:

“A traditional continuing resolution would fund the government at the current levels. This continuing resolution does not do that. I voted against this bill because it jeopardizes the well-being of our seniors, veterans and families, with no assurances that President Trump won’t freeze this funding again.
