Evidence

Cohen wrote on his House site that he had testified in two state legislative committee hearings against the redistricting proposal and, after the maps passed, filed a lawsuit to try to stop the new law from taking effect as planned.

He publicly opposed the map and immediately moved into court to fight it.

The case tracker’s latest update says a three-judge panel had been assigned, defendants had filed opposition to the preliminary-injunction request, and the earlier TRO request had already been denied.

The court fight was still active, but the first effort to block the map had failed.

The promise was framed as continuing to fight and resist the Tennessee redistricting plan in court and in public, not as guaranteeing that the plan would be overturned. Cohen publicly opposed the proposal through testimony and messaging, and he filed litigation seeking to block the enacted map during his current federal House term. Although the court challenge remained unresolved and an initial temporary restraining order request had been denied, those facts do not defeat delivery of an effort-based promise to continue fighting.
