Who is my U.S. representative in TN-09?
Right now, TN-09 (Memphis) is still represented by Steve Cohen (D), who's held the seat since 2007 — he's currently active in Congress, having introduced bills as recently as June 2026. Congress.gov But there's a complication worth knowing about: on May 6, 2026, Tennessee Republicans passed a new congressional map that redraws Cohen out of TN-09, and it was signed into law on May 7. As a result, Cohen withdrew from re-election due to the redistricting, and the Democratic primary field now includes candidates like M. LaTroy Alexandria-Williams, London Lamar, and Justin Pearson, with the primary set for August 6, 2026, and the general election on November 3, 2026. Wikipedia + 3 So the short version: Right now: Steve Cohen is your sitting representative. After the 2026 election: The district's boundaries and who represents it may change significantly, and it's an open seat since Cohen isn't running for it again. If you want, I can look up the exact new district boundaries to confirm whether your specific address is still in the redrawn TN-09.

The response correctly identifies Steve Cohen as the current representative, but fabricates numerous unsupported facts about a 2026 redistricting map, Cohen withdrawing from re-election, and specific primary candidates/dates that are not supported by the ground truth.
