The two candidates for Alabama's Congressional District 2, which was redrawn by a federal court after a lengthy redistricting battle, made their final campaign pushes this week, seeking to drive turnout in the race that could play a role in the battle for control of the U.S. House of Representatives. APR's documentary on District 2, "...a U.S. House seat, if you can keep it" premiered last night on Alabama Public Radio.

The APR news team spent nine months investigating issues surrounding the new Congressional District 2. The new documentary “…a U.S. House seat, if you can keep it” airs Friday night at 7 p.m. on Alabama Public Radio.
