From the Capitol to Neyland Stadium is 181 miles. Tennessee has funded 186 miles of water and sewer lines under Governor Lee, a tangible measure of what it looks like to invest in the people and communities of this state. It is an honor to serve.

Strong infrastructure creates stronger communities. 💪

During @GovBillLee’s administration, TNECD's Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program has funded 186 miles of water and sewer lines across the state, a distance longer than the 181 miles between the Tennessee State Capitol in Nashville and Neyland Stadium in Knoxville.

These investments are supporting economic opportunity, improving quality of life and strengthening infrastructure for Tennesseans across the state. 👏 #SoundsLikeTN

When you trust us with your child’s education in a public school, it becomes our job to keep them safe during school hours. We passed my bill, SB2423, which prohibits certain unhealthy artificial dyes in school nutrition programs. We are working to protect our children.

The Volunteer State turns 230 today. What makes Tennessee great isn't just its history, it's the people who live it every single day. Happy Birthday to the greatest state in the union.

I’m dadgum proud to have my friend @timburchett's support in this race for re-election. I appreciate the hard work you’re doing for us in D.C., and we’ll keep on protecting Tennessee here in the State Senate.

Tennessee just passed a budget that invests substantially in economic development and maintains a balanced ledger. Strong economy. Strong finances. That's the formula.

[TNECD @TNECD]

From strategic investments to continued economic momentum, this year’s legislative session reinforced why Tennessee continues to Experience High Volume. 🔊

Thank you to Gov. Bill Lee and the Tennessee General Assembly for championing initiatives that support businesses, strengthen communities and expand opportunity across our state.

Take a look at the budget and legislative highlights helping shape Tennessee’s economic future. 🙌

We stand in reverence for those who gave everything. Their legacy lives on through our freedom. Thank you, heroes.

We will never forget what Memorial Day Weekend is truly about 🇺🇸

National Foster Care Month celebrates the heart of Tennessee's foster families. Last year, I helped pass HB1359, which strengthens legal protections for children in the foster system, ensuring dignity and security for our most vulnerable youth.

We are kicking foreign adversaries off of Tennessee’s land. This year, I sponsored SB2424, which bars prohibited foreign parties, like China, Russia, and Iran, from investing in residential, commercial, or vacant properties in Tennessee. Tennesseans come first, not our enemies.

Congratulations to Washington, Carter, and Johnson Counties’ graduating Class of 2026! Investing in your education opens up a host of new possibilities, and I am proud to see so many students succeeding from all across Northeast Tennessee.

It was an honor for to help in the dedication of a new memorial honoring the 14 fallen Happy Valley students that gave the ultimate sacrifice fighting for our nation's freedom. Several gave their lives fighting in the Vietnam War during the same years that I served in that war.

The men and women of our armed forces embody courage and commitment. Armed Forces Day celebrates those who sacrifice for our security and stand ready to defend our nation.

I am proud to have served my country in the U.S. Army Security Agency, intercepting enemy messages locating downed pilots and protecting our soldiers on the front lines. May is Military Appreciation Month, and I am grateful for all of my brothers and sisters in arms.

[Rusty Crowe @RustyCroweTN]

The people of my district have been asking us to eliminate Certificate of Need (CON) laws for a long time. I am proud to have delivered tangible, wanted results for the people I represent.

The men and women in blue protect and serve without hesitation. We honor National Police Week by recognizing their commitment to justice, safety, and the rule of law in our communities.

Great mothers are what keeps Tennessee moving in the right direction. Happy Mother’s Day to all of you, and thank you for all that you do!

Our Governor has called a special session. Tennessee has a chance to strengthen its voice at a critical time. The people of this state want leaders who will fight to keep Tennessee the state we know and love, and will stand for those values our founders risked their lives for.

Defending our nation requires courage beyond measure. Tennessee's service members embody this courage daily. We thank them for their sacrifice and unwavering commitment.

Innovation in cancer treatment depends on sustained research investment. That’s why I passed SB2081, which expands step therapy exemptions for cancer patients. Tennessee recognizes the importance of funding these efforts and supporting the scientists driving progress.
