Burchett 🤝Luna
<[link removed]>
Luna and I have been working on something big, and to be honest, we may go
down in flames for it—but that’s okay.
To keep you folks in the loop, I’m talking about Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, one
of my favorite House colleagues and a good friend. She’s a woman of high
ideals; a tough lady who served our country before coming to Congress.
Not long ago, I had the pleasure of welcoming her to East Tennessee for a
fundraising breakfast with some of my constituents—and she fit right in. Folks
around here are a pretty good judge of character, and they could tell she’s the
real deal.
Anyway, she’s stepping up to force a House vote
<[link removed]>
on my congressional stock trading ban when Congress returns to Washington.
Last week, I was on a “thread,” as the kids say, with Luna and Speaker
Johnson—and she was wearing him down, showing him that we’re ready to rumble.
Let me ask you something: Are you raking in returns on your stock investments
every year? Cause members of Congresson both sides of the aisle
<[link removed]> sure are. Their stock trades are timed
like clockwork—often tied toinside information
<[link removed]>
they’re privy to.
For heaven’s sake, don’t even get me started on defense spending and how all
that istied up with members
<[link removed]>
who are heavily invested (literally). We’re talking about multibillion-dollar
contracts, and you can bet members with stock in those companies are ridin’
high every time the federal government signs one of those deals.
It’s crooked as a dog’s leg, as we say in Tennessee.
There’s a bunch of chatter about another bipartisan bill
<[link removed]> on
this topic, but they’re still stuck in negotiations that may never hit the
floor. And to be honest, it’s probably because they’re more concerned with
making sure they don’t hurt their friends.
It won’t go anywhere, so that’s why Luna’s ready to force a vote on my bill.
The approval rating for Congress is down in the dumps, and members need to take
a play out of my book <[link removed]>:
Move it all to a mutual fund that doesn’t water down your ability to serve the
people.
We’re sick of messing around. End individual stock trading by members of
Congress <[link removed]>.
Home In Tennessee 🧡
I’m still having a ball at home in Tennessee, and I’m making every day count.
I was glad to take part in a ribbon cutting to celebrate new investments in
Head Start and Community Action Committee (CAC) that will provide important
resources for families in Knox County. I know I speak for all of us when I say
we’re a grateful community for all the work they do to support folks here at
home.
I also want to give a shoutout to Rutherford Tennessee GOP
<[link removed]> for asking me to come on
their podcast and share a little bit about myself and my work.
And last but not least, I can’t forget to thank the ladies who packed the
house at theRutherford County Republican Women’s Club
<[link removed]> as well.
What a blessing it is to serve folks like you all.
