Bryan Cohn is an American politician who is currently serving as a Democratic member of the North Carolina House of Representatives, representing the 32nd district. The district is based in Granville and Vance counties.[1] He was first elected in 2024, narrowly defeating incumbent representative Frank Sossamon.[2][3][4]
Personal life and career
Cohn was raised in Henderson and currently lives in Oxford.[5] He previously served on the Oxford Board of Commissions.[6][7]
Political positions
Cryptocurrency
Cohn supports cryptocurrencies, but does not believe taxpayer money should be invested into them.[8]
Immigration
Cohn voted against House Bill 318, also known as the Criminal Illegal Alien Enforcement Act, which encourages cooperation between local and federal law enforcement regarding illegal immigrants.[9][10]
Oxford water plant
Cohn opposed House Bill 74, a 2025 bill that would shift $10,000,000 from Oxford, a city in his district, to other parts of North Carolina represented by Republicans. He believed it was for "retribution" due to flipping HD-32 in 2024 from Republican control to Democratic control.[11]
