Assessments

delivered same_term A for effort

Cohen promised to continue advocating for federal transportation and commerce infrastructure investments. During the same federal term, his office announced multiple U.S. Department of Transportation awards benefiting the Memphis area, including a $19.6 million Port Infrastructure Development grant for the International Port of Memphis and a $1.15 million Regional Infrastructure Accelerators grant for local transportation infrastructure. These are direct federal investments in port and transportation infrastructure aligned with the promise, and the evidence shows Cohen publicly advanced and claimed credit for them as part of his continuing advocacy. Because the promise was framed as ongoing advocacy rather than enactment of a specific bill or dollar amount, these same-term federal awards are sufficient to count as delivered.
