📢 YOUNG REPUBLICANS OF SHELBY COUNTY — OUR TIME IS NOW.
We are SO ready to put in the work to knock doors & get out the vote! 🗳️🇺🇸
Save the dates for our Summer door knocking schedule to join us in the fight to Make Shelby County Red. 💯🐘
🚨 BREAKING: Tennessee’s Taylor Derangement Syndrome is in full meltdown mode! This is our state’s very own version of Trump Derangement Syndrome (“TDS”), and Cory Strong is Patient Zero. He just tried to smear me with “racism” but couldn’t name a single example, because there isn’t one. Classic TDS.
Just like the Left’s Trump Derangement Syndrome nationally, the Left here in Tennessee can’t handle a determined fighter who actually delivers for our state and President Trump’s America First agenda.
West and Middle Tennessee, get ready. I already stood up to Tennessee’s only Soros-backed DA and shut down the local government’s attempt to handcuff law enforcement officers. I’m bringing that same relentless fight to Congress.
That’s why I’m endorsed by Senators Marsha Blackburn @VoteMarsha and Bill Hagerty @BillHagertyTN and multiple members of Tennessee’s congressional delegation.
I don’t back down. I don’t quit. I’m just getting started.
Let’s Take Tennessee to the Top!
#MakeMemphisMatter has spread from the streets of Shelby County to the chambers of the Tennessee Capitol and all the way to the Oval Office. And I’m just getting started. We will Make Memphis a Miracle!

#MakeMemphisMatterChallenge: Kimberly and I went downtown to check out Beale Street and have dinner at Blues City Cafe. Folks are enjoying a safer Memphis with major crimes cut nearly 50% since the Memphis Safe Task Force arrived.
With the task force handling crime and the state legislature determined to make Memphis-Shelby County Schools better, we should have a LOT of hope about Memphis future. I know I do!
I won’t back down! In fact, I’m just getting started to #MakeMemphisMatter. We are going to Make Memphis a Miracle!
What @SenBrentTaylor has done to advocate for Memphis across the state is nothing short of remarkable. We now have unprecedented investment to clean up crime and fix education. Memphis will be the next “It City” of the South! #MakeMemphisMatter
“The D.A. is not doing his damn job.”
This week I battled Shelby County Democrat Chair Willie Simon on @3onyourside’s “Informed Sources” about our District Attorney, legislative efforts to hold him accountable, and why Shelby County is losing population.
HB 2428 will impose a MINIMUM fine of $10,000, and a MINIMUM of 60 days behind bars, for assaulting a first responder. It will also make this crime a felony. In Tennessee, we respect the law, and we will fight to protect those who enforce it.
It’s always great to see my friend @timburchett! Last night we met up in his neck of the woods in Claiborne County. He was kind enough to introduce me to his constituents, and I even got to meet his lovely wife Kelly, who he’s always raving about.
From Tennessee’s West Coast all the way to the mountains of East Tennessee, we’re working together to #MakeMemphisMatter!
The police were trying to enforce the law. Of course I support them. I’ve worked too hard to #MakeMemphisMatter than to let a bunch of weathered purple-haired hippies illegally block roads.
🚨BACK THE BLUE: This morning I sent a letter to Mayor Paul Young and MPD Chief CJ David respectfully requesting that no disciplinary action be taken against the officers who lawfully removed protesters from illegally blocking a public road. Their decisive action prevented the kind of dangerous disruption and public-safety crisis that occurred when the I-40 bridge was commandeered by a group of “Bridge Bandits.”
The First Amendment guarantees the right to peaceful assembly and free speech; it does not grant permission to break the law or endanger motorists and first responders. By enforcing the law promptly this time, the Memphis Police Department did the right thing. Restoring order in our streets is essential to rebuilding public confidence and ensuring Memphis remains safe and functional for all residents.
The officers’ dedication aligns directly with my continuing efforts to Make Memphis Matter by prioritizing the rule of law, supporting our officers, and delivering tangible results for our city from the General Assembly. It makes my job more difficult to get better outcomes for Memphis when the legislature sees an unwillingness from Memphis leaders to enforce the rule of law.
Anti-police agitators may be loud, but they are few. We’ve experienced an unprecedented drop in crime in recent months! Memphis shouldn’t send the wrong message now.
I appreciate Speaker Cameron Sexton’s leadership on this issue as well. His comments yesterday demonstrate his commitment to Making Memphis Matter by Making Memphis Safe. He’s been working on this long before I arrived in the Senate. His partnership is critical.
I won’t back down! And neither should you. We will never go back to a culture of criminality!

Here’s some truth the Jimmy Kimmels of the world will never understand: There is nothing you can’t do with a trade school education, some risk, and a willingness to work harder than the next guy.
I got a two-year trade-school certificate, took a big risk on a home equity loan, and put in years of hard work to build the largest family-owned funeral operation in the Mid-South and gave my family a life I never thought possible.
So when elitist leftists like Jimmy Kimmel sneer at plumbers, electricians, welders, and tradespeople, they’re not just insulting Markwayne Mullin — they’re insulting millions of Americans who work hard to provide for their families, their employees, and their communities.
They’re completely disconnected from the common sense that makes America great and will #MakeMemphisMatter.
.@timburchett is going to work harder than the 3rd squirrel trying to get on Noah’s Ark when the rain started for this country as Chairman of the DOGE committee.
TN knows how hard he works for us, and now the whole country will see it firsthand.
