Memphis MoveOn Council Endorses Congressman Steve Cohen

The Memphis MoveOn Council announced that it is endorsing incumbent 9th District Representative Steven Cohen for re-election.

“On issue after issue, Representative Cohen has demonstrated by his sponsorship of legislation, and his voting record, that he embraces the values of liberty and justice of a true progressive,” according to William Treible, Memphis MoveOn Council Coordinator.

“Mr. Cohen has been good for Memphis, good for Tennessee and good for America. We’re fortunate to have him represent us, and we should spare no effort to keep him in office,” he added.

Reorganized in January, Memphis MoveOn is an all-volunteer, grassroots progressive organization of 170-plus Memphis/Shelby County members working in conjunction with the national MoveOn.org.

“MoveOn has done a lot to advance progressive causes in the United States,” Congressman Cohen said.  “Its members are a strong, vital part of the Democratic movement.  I am proud to have their support in my bid for re-election.”
