This morning I announced my decision not to run in any of the three gerrymandered congressional districts carved out of the 9th District I have represented for more than 19 years. Read my statement below:
Tennessee Republicans passed their new rigged map, stripping Memphis of Congressional representation. Black voters in Memphis are being denied just one voice of nine. This is not a democracy — it's a blatant and desperate power grab. But our city isn't going down without a fight.
The Supreme Court and Tennessee Republicans have stripped away the voting rights African Americans fought for, the same rights Dr. King and John Lewis marched for, and are sending us back to the Jim Crow era.
Tennessee lawmakers pass a new U.S. House map urged by President Trump that carves up a majority-Black district in Memphis. apnews.com/article/redist…
Congressman Steve Cohen is reportedly planning to take legal action against the approval of the new Tennessee congressional districts map. localmemphis.com/article/news/l…
MEMPHIS SENATOR @SenAkbari: “This is an act of hate. You cannot call it anything but racism. You cannot sugarcoat this.” Tennessee Republicans are diluting Black representation with white power, stripping their seat in Congress. #JimCrow @GovBillLee @MarshaBlackburn
MAGA Republicans are taking a blowtorch to Black representation in the American South. Donald Trump and Supreme Court extremists are responsible for this carnage. We will crush them at the ballot box in November.
BREAKING: Republicans have released their proposed Congressional map. Memphis is divided into three different districts like Nashville. Previously, Republicans in the House and Senate couldn’t agree. It appears they’ve finally reached a consensus. More to come.
Cohen says he will file lawsuit over redistricting wreg.com/news/mid-south…
They lost the argument so they're rigging the map. Memphis, where Dr. King gave his life for equal representation, carved up and silenced. This is what voter suppression looks like in 2026.
I'm so grateful to have the support of my dear friend and colleague, Congresswoman Maxine Waters, in my re-election campaign. As the only woman to chair the House Financial Services Committee, her impact on our shared fight for democracy has been truly immeasurable to me.
I’m honored to have the support of Democratic House Leadership — Hakeem Jeffries, Katherine Clark, and Pete Aguilar. Their support underscores the importance of this moment — for Memphis and for protecting our democracy.
Donald Trump and the GOP want to rig our election and are coming for the power of Black voters in Memphis. Republicans know they can’t win a fair election, so they’re silencing voters and making the African-American vote in the 9th District irrelevant.
Marsha Blackburn and other MAGA Republicans are calling for a special session to eliminate Memphis-centric TN-09. This is aimed at silencing the African American vote in Memphis. I've always fought for this community and delivered real results. I'm not going anywhere.
I urge our state legislature to reconvene to redistrict another Republican seat in Memphis. It's essential to cement @realDonaldTrump’s agenda and the Golden Age of America. I've vowed to keep Tennessee a red state, and as Governor, I'll do everything I can to make this map a
It was a pleasure joining young women at the Junior Tea on Saturday. Thank you to London Lamar for hosting such a meaningful event and for her commitment to cultivating the next generation of leaders.
This morning, I was endorsed by the IAM Union. I will never stop fighting for working people here in Tennessee and beyond.
I am honored to have the support of Shelby County Trustee, Regina Morrison Newman. Check out her quote below:
I am proud to have received a 2026 Moms Demand Action Gun Sense Candidate distinction. I've spent my career working to reduce gun violence, helping pass the first major federal gun safety bill in nearly 30 years. I will never stop fighting for commonsense gun safety measures.
Proud to support Senator London Lamar’s Junior Tea Party. Opportunities focused on mentorship, confidence, and leadership are exactly how we build a stronger future for our community. Honored to be a sponsor, and I look forward to seeing the impact these young women will make.
Our country just experienced the hottest March on record, and we’ve got a President who STILL denies climate change. I’ve been in this fight my entire career and was one of the original cosponsors of the Green New Deal. I'm not done fighting for clean energy investments.
I am proud to have the support of City Councilman Dr. Jeff Warren. Check out his quote below:
I'm proud to have been endorsed by the CWA. "Because of your outstanding track record of working with the Communications Workers of America, Local 3806 - Memphis, to champion the cause of Labor and working Tennessee families, we are proud to endorse you for re-election."
