Juandalynn Givan


Juandalynn Givan is an American lawyer and politician. She serves as a Democratic member of the Alabama House of Representatives, where she represents Jefferson County.
At a committee meeting in March 2017, Givan said that African-Americans were more likely to get arrested for marijuana possession. She was accused of "play the race card" by former Representative Richard Laird, and she asked him not to attend meetings any more.
In May 2017, she opposed the bill for the Alabama Memorial Preservation Act, which would make it harder to remove Confederate monuments in Alabama; she argued, "This type of legislation... continues to put Alabama in a negative light, which it is known for racism, discrimination."
