"you're not allowed to shut this down until after congressman so and so wins reelection."

If an incumbent US Senator's electability depends upon a single coal power plant they're already in deep shit.

On the other hand for House reps the elections are every two years like clockwork, "after they win election" is in effect never because they will already be thinking about re-election, so if that's what they're asking for they mean never.
