Rep. Steve Cohen (D-TN-9)

Description

Congressman Steve Cohen is a fourth-

generation Memphian who has dedicated his

life to public service. As a child, the

challenges of living with polio taught him

how to overcome obstacles through

persistence and determination, values which

would shape his career as a legislator. Filing

to run for office on the same day he first

registered to vote, Congressman Cohen

stepped onto the path that has defined his

life and affected the lives of people in

Memphis, across Tennessee and now across

America throughout his career in national,

state and local politics.

During his term as a Shelby County

Commissioner, Congressman Cohen cast the

deciding vote for the creation of The MED

which today, as Regional One Health, has

one of the finest trauma care and burn

center units in the Mid-South. This would be

the first in a long line of votes during his

career that would define his legislative

philosophy- fighting to ensure the basic

human rights of every American, such as

access to health care.

During his 24 years in the Tennessee State

Senate, Congressman Cohen amassed a
