Cohen first ran for and won #TN09 in 2006 after a close victory in the Democratic primary. (Harold Ford had left to wage an ultimately unsuccessful bid for Senate.) While not Black, Cohen always won subsequent primaries with huge support from the Black community.

Protestors inside the #Tennessee state capitol in #Nashville; Thursday, May 7th, 2026. The #Republican-supermajority legislature voted to split Memphis’s congressional seat, long held by #Democrats, among three safe Republicans districts. #Memphis, particularly #Black Memphis, lost its representation.
