John,

Out-of-touch incumbent Rep. Steve Cohen has become so used to having his
seat in Congress handed to him that for the longest time, he didn’t bother
to post on his social media accounts, host events, or do much meaningful
community outreach in Tennessee’s 9th district.

Now that he’s being challenged by Justice Democrats-endorsed,
working-class, progressive State Rep. Justin J. Pearson, he’s going on the
defensive.

On a podcast this week, Cohen compared Justin’s announcement to run
against him to Pearl Harbor… yikes.

[ [link removed] ]Tweet by The Tennessee Holler: COHEN ON PEARSON: “He’s not ready… He
interned for me. He never talked to me about running- it was kind of like
Pearl Harbor.” 76yo Rep. Cohen talks to ex TNDP chair Hendrell Remus about
being challenged by Rep. Justin J. Pearson in TN-9 (MEMPHIS)

You read that right. Steve Cohen thinks people-powered primaries against
entrenched incumbents are equivalent to PEARL HARBOR.

Before his seat was at risk, Cohen previously raved about Justin’s
leadership, stating, “Justin is for people. He showed it with the fight to
beat the pipeline. He did it by organizing people and beating the big oil
companies…His experience, his knowledge, and his understanding of human
beings is so far beyond his years.”

Now, as entrenched politicians often do, he has a different tune because
he cares more about his seat than his constituents. He even said he
opposes term limits of any kind.

Cohen may have been in public office for more than 40 years, but he’s
failing to meet the moment, deliver for his district, and defend Nashville
from Trump’s fascist attacks. Justin has the lived experience, public
service, and organizing chops to fight harder and achieve better for
working families in TN-09.

It’s time for Cohen to pass the torch to the next generation — if he’s
unwilling to do so, then the people will make that decision for him at the
ballot box come primary election day!

chest of resources to use against Justin’s grassroots campaign. Can you
split a contribution of $5 or more to Justin and Justice
Democrats so we can take Cohen on and WIN?
