Cohen calls off congressional reelection campaign

U.S. Rep. Steve Cohen said Friday that he is exiting the August Congressional primaries after the Tennessee General Assembly redrew the state’s district lines, dividing Memphis among three Congressional districts and drawing Cohen out of the 9th District seat he’s held for 20 years.

“Oh, come on. Has anyone seriously thought secession was even remotely possible? Of course not.” — Bob Lee about Opinion: Memphis is angry about redistricting, but secession is a ‘worthless’ suggestion


“So for all of you who have had the benefit of the Hope Scholarship, walked across the Mississippi on the Big River Crossing, had government services work for you, or drive across our future new bridge, you have one person and one person only to thank - Steve Cohen” — John Vergos about Cohen calls off congressional reelection campaign


“It’s gonna be better than ppl think… GTG!” — Jimmy Gould about Martin: Memphis basketball roster is mostly complete. What’s good, what’s bad, and what’s ugly.
