For months now, everyone's been talking about Steve Cohen running for Harold Ford's congressional seat in 2006 (Ford is, of course, running for Billie Frist's seat).
Well, it's going to happen. The Democratic State Senator will reportedly file for the 9th District congressional seat at the Election Commission at 11 a.m. on Monday.
This is definitely good news. Steve Cohen is one of the state's very few genuinely progressive elected officials. And he's not shy or timid. This should prove to be a very interesting race.
There's a whole slew of candidates for Ford's seat. If this race is about name recognition, Cohen has it all sewed up!
God knows we are starved in this state for progressive candidates.
