A sincere, heartfelt thank you to the people of District 7. One vote alone is an honor. I don’t have words to express how proud I am to represent my community in Nashville. Now let’s get to work.

I would like to congratulate @BillLeeTN on his victorious campaign for governor. After watching how Bill connects with people & inspires our citizens, I'm convinced he is the perfect person to lead our state. We're in strong position as a state but there's more left to do.

Congratulations on a hard fought victory tonight @VoteMarsha. You will be a great advocate for Tennessee in the US Senate.
Thank you, Lt. Governor. I am honored to represent the folks of District 7.
I am grateful to the people of Knox County for returning my friend, @SenatorBriggs, to the state Senate. As a veteran, a surgeon and a Senator, Richard has proven he has the heart of a leader.
Today is the day! It has been an honor serving Knox County in the State Senate and it would be a privilege to continue. If you haven’t already, get out and vote! #VoteBriggs #BriggsForSenate #GoVoteTN

Proud to support @BillLeeTN this morning in Knoxville. Bill Lee is a conservative man of faith who has an intimate grasp of both words emblazoned on our state seal: Commerce and Agriculture.
We've made great progress in Tennessee, but we have more work to do. In less than 24 hours, the polls will open. It's been an honor serving as your State Senator. I hope you'll allow me to continue. #VoteBriggs #BriggsForSenate

Great to be with @timburchett, @SenatorBriggs and Howard Phillips at Wright’s Cafeteria today. Excellent food and company.
As a heart surgeon and former U.S. Army Colonel, I know what it takes to deliver results - integrity, honest communication, and leadership. Whether on the battlefield, in the operating room, or in the state senate, leadership matters. #VoteBriggs

There were 10,888 new business filings reported during the 2nd quarter of 2018, a 14.3% increase over the same quarter last year. This increase is a good leading indicator of a robust economy and continued economic growth. #RightTrackTN
