Republican voter apathy could cost us this election.

I joined @clayandbuck to discuss the stakes of tomorrow’s election and the issues that matter most to Tennessee families. We can’t drop the ball this close to the end!

Let’s finish strong. Get out and vote!

I’m honored to have the endorsement of Tennessee House Speaker Cameron Sexton, a strong conservative leader who works every day to deliver results for our state.

Thank you, Speaker Sexton, for your support and confidence in our campaign. I look forward to working together to defend our conservative values and serve Tennessee families!

I’m honored to have the endorsement of Congressman David Kustoff, a proven conservative leader who delivers for Tennessee.

I look forward to working alongside him to defend our conservative values, strengthen our economy, and deliver results for Tennessee families.

Thank you, Congressman Kustoff, for your support and confidence in our campaign! @RepDavidKustoff

What a great day on the “American Dream Lives in Tennessee” bus tour! We traveled through Henry, Weakley, Dyer, and Tipton counties, and the enthusiasm and momentum are growing every day!

I appreciate all the elected officials, dignitaries, and neighbors who joined us on the bus or welcomed us at each stop. Special thanks to Speaker Cameron Sexton and Congressman David Kustoff for their support and leadership, and Tennessee Republican Party Chairman Scott Golden!

Thank you for showing up and standing with us. Let’s keep working and finish strong!

I’m honored to receive the endorsement of NFIB, the nation’s leading small business advocacy organization!

As a farmer and small business owner, I understand the hard work and sacrifice it takes to build a business, meet payroll, and serve your community.

In Congress, I’ll fight for lower taxes, less red tape, and policies that help Tennessee’s small businesses grow and succeed. Thank you, NFIB, for your confidence and support!

I’m honored to announce the formation of my Defense Advisory Board and Veterans Coalition, led by distinguished military leaders who have dedicated their lives to serving our nation.

Their experience and guidance will help me fight for the priorities our veterans and military families deserve—access to quality healthcare, benefits they have earned, and a strong national defense.

I’m grateful for their support and their continued commitment to serving others. In Congress, I’ll make standing up for those who have worn our nation’s uniform a priority. 🇺🇸

What a turnout at my Hootenanny yesterday at The Davis General! I enjoyed visiting with friends old and new over bluegrass and burgers.

I’m excited by the momentum we’re building every day and grateful for the outpouring of support. Thank you to everyone who came out and made it such a special afternoon!

I’m ready to take my work ethic as a farmer to Washington and get to work for you!

Good news for Tennessee farmers!
After reviewing Tennessee’s temporary dyed diesel fuel relief program for farmers and forestry operators and talking with fellow farmers, it was clear to me that extending the program through the end of the year to align with federal relief only makes sense. Farmers need enough time to take full advantage of the relief available to them.
I contacted Governor Lee’s office to request that extension, and he has agreed to extend the program through December 31, 2026. A formal letter is expected next week.
I appreciate Governor Lee and his team listening and responding to the needs of our agricultural community. As a farmer, I know every dollar matters, and I’ll keep working to deliver practical solutions for the families who feed our nation.
Food security is national security.

Hatcher Clearly Comes Out on Top During Last Night’s Forum

Thank you to the local chambers of commerce, our sponsors, and their membership for hosting last night’s congressional forum in Spring Hill. I especially appreciate the constituents from throughout the area who took time to attend and hear directly from the candidates.

We discussed issues that matter to Tennessee families and businesses: the cost of living, infrastructure, workforce development, and our nation’s security. I welcomed the opportunity to share the experience and commonsense approach I will bring to Congress as a farmer, veterinarian, small business owner, and former Commissioner of Agriculture.

My commitment is simple: listen to the people I serve, work hard, and get the job done. Tennessee deserves a representative who understands the challenges our communities face and brings practical experience to solving them.

Thank you for being part of this important conversation. I would be honored to earn your vote.

Work like a farmer. Send a farmer to Washington.

Thank you, Mayor Jacobs!

What we eat matters, where it comes from matters, and protecting the people who produce it matters.

"As a farmer, you cannot afford to be absent from the job. Your family and your business depend on action, hard work and determination to find solutions. When something goes unexpectedly on the farm, which happens more often than not, you have to move fast to solve the problem. That same sense of responsibility should happen in Congress."

Great day in Dyersburg at the Rural America Roundtable with the honorable Stephen Vaden, Senator Paul Rose, Representative Rusty Grills, Representative Chris Hurt and Mayor Eric Maupin.

We had a great crowd and a productive discussion about the challenges and opportunities facing rural America, particularly Northwest Tennessee. Thank you to everyone who joined us and shared your concerns and ideas.

Our rural communities deserve a strong voice in Washington. I look forward to representing ALL the people of Tennessee’s 5th District—listening, working hard, and making sure every community’s voice is heard.

As a farmer, I know farming is more than a job. It’s a way of life built on faith, hard work, sacrifice, and generations of dedication.

Today, we celebrate the farmers and farm families who put food on our tables, strengthen our communities, and keep Tennessee agriculture moving forward. Your work matters to every American, every day.

Food security is national security, and keeping our farms strong means keeping America strong.

Thank you to everyone who works the land and helps feed our nation. Happy National Farmers Day! 🌾

I was honored to be asked by the President to speak at his rally. While I may not agree with every decision or every word, I firmly support the Republican agenda: lower taxes, less regulation, secure borders, a strong military, American energy, and responsible government spending.

I stand for law enforcement, the Second Amendment, religious liberty, protecting the unborn, parents’ rights, and strong family farms.

My commitment is simple: make life more affordable, protect our freedoms, and leave America stronger for the next generation.

[Hatcher for Congress @HatcherforTN]

I’m deeply honored to receive the endorsement of Col. James C. Harding, USAF (Ret.), of Huntingdon, Tennessee—America’s most-decorated living military veteran.

At 92 years old, Colonel Harding is an extraordinary example of service, courage, and love of country. His endorsement means a great deal to me, but above all, I’m grateful for his service and sacrifice for our nation.

Thank you, Colonel Harding, for your trust and support—and for a lifetime of service to America.

It was an honor to attend the Wounded Warriors lunch at the Water Valley Community Center alongside Goose, the unofficial mayor of Leiper’s Fork, Sheriff Bucky Rowland, Senator Joey Hensley, Representative Kip Capley, and other friends from the community.

Thank you to everyone who helped bring folks together to support our wounded warriors. Their courage and sacrifice—and the sacrifices of their families—deserve our lasting gratitude and support.

As your Congressman, I will stand up for our veterans and work to ensure they receive the care, benefits, and respect they have earned. 🇺🇸

Great discussion this morning with Westhaven residents! I appreciated the opportunity to listen, answer questions, and share why I’m running for Congress.

We welcomed lots of new supporters and handed out a lot of yard signs and plenty of hats. Thank you to Mike Ryan for organizing the gathering and to everyone who came out.

Your support means a great deal. We’re working every day to earn your vote and take Tennessee’s values to Washington.

Work hard. Get the job done. Serve others.
