I voted No as well- Tennessee's controlling party is selling us down the river.
Bill Lee and GOP-run state govt wants to tear down our houses and bizs in SE Nashville to build their toll lanes and gift a 50yr lease of our public roads to billionaires. I voted NO and stand with families against this latest Lee boondoggle. newschannel5.com/news/letter…

Wishing our farming families & their businesses a robust harvest season. In Congress, I’ll fight for our farmers. I know tariffs impact their input costs; bad trade deals impact soybean farmers & livestock producers; and the war in Iran has an impact on diesel & fuel costs. 1/2

Bill Lee recently called his plan to accept and store nuclear waste in TN “an ‘incredible opportunity’ the state should pursue.” Yes, cancer-causing agents which can cause immediate radiation sickness and have ability to get into water far from original disposal sites. 🤦🏻‍♂️

YESTERDAY IN MEMPHIS: “A temporary pause on new data centers passed on the first of three readings at Memphis City Council…” (@MemphisChamber, the folks who let the Elon wolf in the door against the community’s wishes, is against it) Full: wreg.com/news/local/data-cen…

Huge corporations like Amazon, Walmart, and Uber are among the top employers of SNAP and Medicaid recipients. Meanwhile, their CEOs are raking in multi-million dollar pay packages. How is this not a bigger scandal?

Roughly 70% of women in heterosexual marriages have changed their last name. That means using their birth certificate as proof of citizenship to vote is not an option. This is not a coincidence — it’s a deliberate effort to suppress Democratic votes. Learn more: demdock.com/4b15Hbw

Trump promised a manufacturing boom. Instead, we've lost 75,000 jobs and $60 billion in annual factory construction since he took office. 📸: @MSNOWNews @Morning_Joe

“I did send Marsha a letter. There’s a whole set of docs— let Tennesseans judge if there’s nothing there.” @RepJohnRose asks @MarshaBlackburn to release ethics committee correspondence after staff said she had them do campaign work on taxpayer time WBIR: instagram.com/reel/DbHOqBHGb…

Last, but not least—Houston County! When the legislature redrew the map for TN’s 5th, it was important to me that we visit all 17 counties prior to the August 6th primary. We accomplished that goal today. Together, we can show the 🌍 that common sense & decency still matter.

.@timburchett and his buddies are ridiculous. TN never has and never will have an income tax. No one is concerned about this. What Tennesseans are concerned about is unaffordable gas, groceries, healthcare and daycare. But Burchett and his power club don't care about those things
He’s a veteran a fiscal conservative and a patriot. @RustyCroweTN

Keep my city's name out of your mouth. 
Memphis isn't a campaign prop for your political theater. You don't get to spend years passing laws that hurt Memphians, then suddenly claim credit when it's thriving DESPITE you ignoring us for decades. Our city is resilient because of the people who live here, work here, and refuse to give up on it.
We have the opportunity to capture the Memphis momentum and not only make Memphis the safest city in America, but make Tennessee the safest state in the nation. As your next governor, that’s exactly what I’ll deliver.

Blanche lied under oath- that should settle it. Partisanship should not supercede the rules of our legislature.
Under oath, Todd Blanche accused me of making false claims. Fact check: false.

.@timburchett is a joke. Write in Mickey Mouse in his primary. Mickey would do a better job than this showboating do-nothing Trump sycophant
Rep. Tim Burchett makes his case as Capitol Hill's funniest lawmaker 😅 🎥: @hicharliecotton

Tomorrow, July 17, early voting begins in TN. This election will allow us to show the 🌍 that voters pick their politicians, politicians do not pick their voters. Make a plan. Tell your friends and neighbors to do the same. And, tell them we will be a champion for all of TN-5.

MASSIE: “We control the house, the senate, the White House. (And to some degree the Supreme Court)— so I ask my Republican colleagues: why are you complaining about election fraud? We won all the damn elections!” Also: REPUBLICANS were in charge when Trump says it was rigged 🙃

He wants credit for fiscal responsibility after voting to fund a war in Iran and a White House makeover that looks like Versailles threw up. The only thing he's responsible about is showing up to vote yes on every $ Trump asks for. TN deserves better than a rubber stamp in a suit
Every wasted dollar is money taken from hard-working Americans. I'm running for reelection to deliver the fiscal responsibility Tennessee deserves. Don't forget: Early voting starts tomorrow and runs through August 1st. Make a plan to bank your vote EARLY.
