Cohen Commemorates Former State Legislator Kathryn Bowers

[WASHINGTON, DC] – Congressman Steve Cohen (TN-09) issued the following statement after learning former Tennessee state legislator Kathryn Bowers had passed away:

“Kathryn Bowers was a great warrior for justice and fairness and for Memphis. She served more than a decade in the Tennessee General Assembly as a state representative and state senator and was always right on the issues. She was a tireless advocate for women, the poor and underserved, and those not represented by powerful interest groups. She was not afraid to speak truth to power. Kathryn was a friend who will be sorely missed by many.”
