They are upset that Cohen won’t be representing the district with realignment and he has done nothing for the district in 2 decades.

You're asking tough questions of a guy who spends his time fantasizing about watching those who exercise their 1st amendment right to protest, be assaulted by people with diminished mental capacity.

Again, “breaking up the only majority black district in TN” loses a little umph when that only black district in TN has been led by a balding white Jewish guy for 2 decades as education, crime, closed businesses and abandoned homes have all gotten worse and the area so dangerous and trashed a task force was brought in.

It really loses nothing when discussing selecting representation. You pretty much just established that Memphis has issues that are very unlikely to be addressed by people living in West Nashville

Memphis has a lot of issues but cohen was responsible for federal fund allocation to help his district among other duties and failed them for 20 years.
It’s also possible and likely imo a local black woman, Charlotte Bergman who attended college 5 minutes from the district, would be a better rep for the black community with her focus on crime and healthcare.

If they're better then allow Memphis to decide.

So… nothing?

Who should get to decide whether a representative has done enough to keep getting elected?

Have you been to his district? Take a drive thru then come back and let us know what you see. I advise to be out of there before dark.
Memphis politics are as corrupt as it gets and the focus has never been on the people living there. Dems are voted in without consideration of anything other them being a Dem. Happens with R’s too of course but that district is one of the roughest and poorest in the US and needs a change.

I’m not sure why you keep bringing up conditions in the district because you didn’t explain how it relates to the U.S. House.

Are you saying the people who vote in that district don’t know what it’s like, either?

Any reason not to trust their opinion over a guy who thinks a U.S. Rep is responsible for local crime statistics?

They really need a community liaison of some sort to educate the community at town hall meetings, etc, educate people and get them to vote for who will help them. I haven’t looked at voter turnout but don’t imagine it’s a high percent either.

Already mentioned but was responsible for federal grants and community investments for the district. In 20 years, what did he do with those funds? How did he help the district? And it’s directly related to crime when money isn’t invested into the community to improve it.

What did he do with those funds? Do you think he was personally responsible for the management of those funds?

Cohen did get funding for a new MS River bridge ( the one that is needed because TDOT let the other one go too much into a state of disrepair)....

I was there a few weeks ago and was pointed in the direction of the “boat stop”, or whatever it’s called. Basically a pull off area off the river. I don’t know who made that decision or the exact details but it evidently was a very costly bad idea.

I know St. Jude means a lot to your family. Cohen's office has helped push through significant federal grants for St. Jude...

The I-40 bridge was shut down in 2020 for months because of neglected TDOT maintenance. (A boater sent pictures of s huge crack in the bridge to local/national media) They then took a look at the I-55 bridge and it has been shut down for periods of time to stabliize it until they get a new one built since there was even more neglected maintenance.

Yes he’s responsible for allocation of funds for infrastructure. For the 3rd time.

Oh. How embarrassing.

Well come back back when you have spoken to your community liaison and gotten educated about what the people you vote for actually do so you’ll know who to vote for who will help you.

See hog’s post for more clarity since you think Cohen holds no responsibility for his duties which include community investment.
