We’re Coming For Receipts 🧾







If you’ve been around awhile, you know I’ve been asking for transparency on
Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) salaries for years, and it’s time we got some
dadgum answers.



We already know the top dogs are raking in MILLIONS.



Outgoing CEO Jeff Lyash made a whopping $10 million

in 2024—mainly because of bloated incentives and perks. Even President Trump
called for a stop to the madness during his first term, suggesting that the top
salary should be capped at $500,000.



Now, there’s a new TVA CEO coming to town, but it’s the same old story. Don
Moul

negotiated a $1.2 million base salary, with the potential formillions more
<[link removed]>
in bonuses if he meets certain goals. And that’s just one guy.



That alone is crazy, but we also need to shine a light on many more TVA
salaries. Congress created TVA back in the1930s
<[link removed]>
to bring electricity and jobs to rural Tennessee. While it doesn’t receive
taxpayer funding, it’s still a public corporation—and Tennesseeans deserve to
see the receipts. But TVA continually insists on keeping people in the dark,
and it’s unacceptable.



Back in 2023, I worked with Rep. Cohen to introduce a bill
<[link removed]>
that would cut the secrecy at TVA, and though it passed, it never came to a
vote in the Senate, so it died at the end of the session.



But we’re back with the same bill and the same demands—and it looks like we
may get it done this time around. I’m happy to report that the bill justpassed
<[link removed]> out of the
Transportation & Infrastructure Committee this week.



When signed into law, it'll require TVA to report salaries for anyone making
more than $123,000 annually. Why? Because this agency that only covers 65,000
square miles employs 10,000 folks—many of whom are making millions—and people
deserve to know.



If we don’t have trust from the people we represent, what do we have? There’s
no such thing as too much transparency—and that’s exactly why I’m pushing this
bill.




 



Working Together 🤝







Real solutions start with honest conversations.



I recently hosted a roundtable discussion with local industry leaders to hear
their concerns with DOGE and discuss opportunities to address fraud and waste
at the federal level.



I’m all ears when it comes to representing the people I serve. Together, we
can create a stronger, financially responsible nation for our children and
grandchildren—but that means we have to hear each other out.


If you’re interested in joining conversations like these, I’m hosting a
telephone town hall on April 13—which is the 100-day mark of the 119th Congress.
