WASHINGTON -- U.S. Rep. Steve Cohen said that Mayor Willie W.
Herenton's pending resignation and pledge to run for congress won't
have any bearing on how Cohen will do his job.
"I just do my job," said Cohen. "I mean that's all I can do, and that's all the people of the 9th District expect me to do."
He said he was on the House floor, voting, until 10:50 p.m. Wednesday night and was up at 8 a.m. today to take some people on a White House tour before presiding over hearings before the House Commercial and Administrative law subcommittee.
"He can campaign all he wants and it's not going to make a whole lot of difference as far as the way people look at me," he added. "Re-elections are usually referendums on the incumbents and I've been doing a good job, according to the people I've talked to and the polling data we've got. And I'm doing a good job based on my own analysis -- and I'm going to keep doing it.
