- District: Alabama Senate District 33; identifier AL-SD-033; Senate key sldu:01:33.
- Chamber: Alabama Senate, Alabama's upper legislative chamber. The Legislature describes its process and the Senate's role on the legislative process page.
- Representation: the member directory lists Senator Vivian Davis Figures for District 33 and identifies Baldwin and Mobile Counties in her district listing (Alabama Senate Leaders and Members). The dated officeholder reference supplied for this collection uses Vivian Figures as the canonical name.
¶ 2. Geography and Communities
- District GIS anchors: the supplied Census 2025 Senate-district geometry intersects Mobile County and Baldwin County. Its bounding box is west -88.221115, south 30.565055, east -87.789739, north 30.821502. County and place intersections are mapped-area overlaps, not population shares.
- Mapped place overlaps are partial: Mobile, Prichard, and Chickasaw in Mobile County; Spanish Fort and Loxley in Baldwin County. A partial overlap does not place an entire municipality inside the district.
- Geography references: the Alabama Legislature Senate district map, the Alabama Secretary of State state-district map portal, and the U.S. Census TIGER/Line geography files. The supplied GIS uses Census 2025 Senate geometry and TIGER 2024 county/place layers.
- Spanish Fort's city source describes Interstate 10 as enabling commutes to Mobile, Baldwin County, and northwest Florida, and identifies the Mobile Bay Causeway as a vital transportation link and regional asset (city overview; city home). These are regional connections; they do not establish the district boundary of individual sites.
- The City of Spanish Fort identifies Eastern Shore Centre and Spanish Fort Town Center as commercial centers in the city (About Spanish Fort). Loxley's city describes agriculture, retail, manufacturing, and warehousing among its economic sectors (About Loxley).
- Institution locations are not point-overlaid against the district here. A named city overlap or a shared county alone does not establish that a particular campus, hospital, port facility, or employer lies inside the district.
¶ 3. Population and Electorate
- Population: 136,399, margin of error ±2,664. This is an ACS 2020–2024 five-year district estimate, not a county total or voter count.
- Median household income: $47,307 in 2024 inflation-adjusted dollars, margin of error ±$1,828; ACS 2020–2024 five-year district estimate.
- Poverty: the poverty universe is 133,778, margin of error ±2,676; 29,658 persons are below poverty, margin of error ±2,080. Both are district ACS estimates, not county counts.
- Source for all four estimates: Census Reporter API, ACS 2024 five-year tables B01003, B19013, and B17001 for Senate District 33. Census Reporter is the delivery aggregator; the underlying publisher is the U.S. Census Bureau.
- The available district estimates do not provide a separate electorate or voter-registration total. Population estimates should not be read as electorate counts.
¶ 4. Elections and Political Context
- Map chronology: on November 17, 2025, a federal trial court ordered use of a remedial Senate plan. The Eleventh Circuit stayed the injunctions on May 28, 2026 (May 28 court order); on June 8, 2026, it vacated and remanded the case for further consideration after the Supreme Court's Callais decision (June 8 court order). The 2025 remedial map should not be described as governing on the collection date; the 2021 Senate map is the referenced map in the Secretary of State's map portal. This is state Senate-map litigation, not a House or congressional boundary change.
- The Alabama Secretary of State lists the 2026 primary on May 19, runoff on June 16, and general election on November 3 (2026 Election Information). The general election was upcoming on the collection date; no general result is reported here.
- The Secretary of State's Democratic candidate certification lists Vivian Davis Figures as a District 33 general-election nominee, certified August 26, 2026 (official certification PDF). Candidacy is recorded separately from the dated officeholder reference and does not itself establish an election result or incumbency.
- The supplied official nominee record does not provide District 33 primary vote totals. No total is inferred from the nominee certification.
¶ 5. Economic and Civic Anchors
- Loxley: the City of Loxley describes local activity across agriculture, retail, manufacturing, and warehousing (city overview). The Alabama Department of Commerce announced Butting's planned $61 million North American headquarters and first U.S. production facility in Loxley's industrial corridor on July 11, 2025, with plans for up to 100 jobs; the project announcement involved the Baldwin County Economic Development Alliance, the City of Loxley, Baldwin County Commission, and Alabama Department of Commerce (Made in Alabama project announcement). These are project plans and regional economic context, not a district employment count.
- Spanish Fort: the city identifies Eastern Shore Centre and Spanish Fort Town Center as commercial centers and describes Interstate 10 commutes across the Mobile–Baldwin region (City of Spanish Fort). These are city and regional anchors; partial mapped overlap does not show which facilities fall inside District 33.
- Mobile shipbuilding: Austal describes its U.S. shipyard as located in Mobile and as one of the city's largest employers. It identifies work for U.S. Navy Littoral Combat Ship, Expeditionary Fast Transport, and Virginia-class submarine-module programs (Austal company profile). This is a Mobile regional connection, not proof that the shipyard is inside the district.
- Port and logistics: the Alabama Port Authority describes the Port of Mobile as a Gulf gateway linked to Class I rail, interstate highways, inland terminals, and inland waterways (Alabama Port Authority). The Authority reports more than $415 billion in statewide economic impact since 2019; that statewide figure is not a District 33 estimate.
- Healthcare and higher education: USA Health identifies University Hospital in Mobile as a regional referral center and says it has the region's only Level I trauma center. USA Health is the University of South Alabama's academic health system (USA Health overview). This is regional service context; no exact facility-to-district overlay is claimed.
- Chickasaw's municipal history describes a planned shipyard community and the historic Chickasaw Shipbuilding and Car Company, linking the city's development to shipbuilding and deep-water access (City of Chickasaw history).
- Prichard civic anchor: the Prosperity Community Development Council describes community programs, environmental management, resilience planning, and economic development focused on Prichard residents (PCDC mission and history).
- Watershed: the Mobile Bay National Estuary Program reports that the Tensaw-Apalachee Watershed covers over 37,000 acres in Mobile and Baldwin Counties, includes portions draining downtown Mobile and Spanish Fort, and encompasses the lower Mobile-Tensaw Delta and the confluence of the Mobile, Spanish, Tensaw, Apalachee, and Blakely Rivers at Mobile Bay (watershed landscape). The program identifies the Mobile Bay Causeway's effects on lower-delta and upper-bay hydrology and ecosystems as a concern. This watershed context is regional and does not define the district boundary.
¶ 6. People and Organizations to Map
- People and organizations named in the available sources include Vivian Figures (directory spelling Vivian Davis Figures), Baldwin County Economic Development Alliance, City of Spanish Fort, City of Loxley, Alabama Department of Commerce, Butting, Austal USA, Alabama Port Authority, University of South Alabama, USA Health, City of Chickasaw, Prosperity Community Development Council, and Mobile Bay National Estuary Program.
- What relationship, if any, exists among the Mobile Bay Causeway, Interstate 10 access, and commercial development in Spanish Fort and Loxley across the district's Mobile–Baldwin footprint?
- What relationship, if any, exists between Mobile Bay National Estuary Program's Tensaw-Apalachee watershed work, the Mobile-Tensaw River Delta, and community resilience priorities in the district's mapped Mobile and Baldwin County communities?
- What relationship, if any, exists between Vivian Figures's 2026 legislative work on Alabama SB107 and the concerns or service networks of funeral-service communities in Mobile and Baldwin Counties?
¶ 7. Representation and Legislative Work
- The Alabama Senate directory lists Senator Vivian Davis Figures for District 33; the supplied dated officeholder reference uses Vivian Figures. The chamber directory is the source for the current member listing (Senate Leaders and Members).
- Alabama SB107 (2026): the enrolled bill lists Senators Figures and Gudger as sponsors. It records Senate passage/certification on March 12, 2026, House passage on April 8, 2026, and a stated effective date of June 1, 2026 (official enrolled text). The bill addresses the Alabama Board of Funeral Services; its enrolled text provides for a possible administrative fee of up to $30 per final disposition, changes to fee caps, and preneed reporting requirements. This dossier relies on the enrolled bill text and does not assert a separate governor approval date or act number.
- No additional committee assignments or District 33-specific legislative actions are included where the available official sources do not establish them.
