Burchett 🤝Luna

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 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 Congress on both sides of the aisle sure are. Their stock trades are timed like clockwork—often tied to inside information they’re privy to.

For heaven’s sake, don’t even get me started on defense spending and how all that is tied up with members 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 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: 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. 

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 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 the Rutherford County Republican Women’s Club as well.

What a blessing it is to serve folks like you all.
