All good things must come to an end.
This district work period back home in Tennessee has been one for the books, but it’s time to wrap it up and head back to the swamp—or as I like to call it, the sewer.
We packed in everything from fundraising dinners to visits with small businesses, and most importantly, a lot of good old-fashioned heart-to-heart chats with the folks who voted me into office.
This month lit a fire in me and reminded me why I wanted to do this job in the first place: to serve the people of East Tennessee. I heard directly from you about what matters most, and I’ll be carrying those conversations with me when I walk back into the Capitol next week.
We talked about the America First agenda and how much you appreciate the progress President Trump has made securing the border and cleaning up crime in blue cities like D.C.
I heard your concerns about our spiraling national debt, and we agreed that cooling inflation is still a top priority for hard-working families.
Many of you shared encouraging words about my efforts to ban stock trading for members of Congress—and you urged me to keep pushing for answers on the Epstein filth and other forms of corruption.
I know I’ve said it before, but I really mean it: I take everything you say into consideration. You all keep me in the know and remind me who I work for and what we’re working toward.
Before I get on the plane, I’m hoping to fit in a few more sit-down talks and a couple stops at Vol Market #3—but I’m ready to tackle the rest of the year in a big way.
The fights ahead won’t be easy. If we want to pave the way for success in 2026 (and keep Republicans in charge so we can get things done), we’ve got to stay focused and keep pushing.
Thank you for your trust, and I promise to keep doing everything I can to make you proud.
