Thank you Northeast TN for giving me the opportunity of a lifetime to serve you. I want to thank everyone – my constituents, family, colleagues, staff – who helped make my time in Congress successful. It’s been one of the great privileges of my life.

His passion and love for the people of East Tennessee will be greatly missed in the halls of the House of Representatives.

Thousands of veterans and their families have faced hardships over the last 9 months, but getting the benefits they have earned shouldn't be one of them.

Ranking Member @DrPhilRoe was proud to join his colleagues in urging the NPRC to resume operations.

The Pal’s businesses model is applauded in business schools, from UT to Harvard. Here’s a podcast by Harvard Professor Gary Pisano about Pal’s Sudden Service.

[Dr. Phil Roe @DrPhilRoe]

I was saddened to hear of the passing of Pal Barger at 90 years old. Pal built his food chain, Pal’s Sudden Service, into one of our region’s best success stories.

We are making great progress towards a safe, effective COVID-19 vaccine. Medical professionals in Congress are leading by example and volunteering for these trials because we trust the science.

[Buddy Carter @RepBuddyCarter]

I have signed up for a COVID-19 vaccine trial because I am confident that any vaccine will be both SAFE and EFFECTIVE. Here is a quick update about my first day in the trial.

[House Committee on Veterans' Affairs @HouseVetAffairs]

Last week, Ranking Member @DrPhilRoe was honored to receive an award from @wwp! It has been a privilege to work with @wwp over the years to ensure key legislation for our nation’s heroes makes it to the finish line and we thank them for their continued commitment to our vets 🇺🇸

I’m honored to be awarded the Guardian of Small Business award by the by the @nfib. These job creators are the backbone of our economy, and I’m proud of the entrepreneurs in TN and around the country. #smallbizguardian

[Dr. Phil Roe @DrPhilRoe]

A vaccine is our way back to normal – here's why it will be safe: vaccine candidates in the final stage of trials are going through randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled multicenter studies. Before final approval, it would be approved by an independent group of experts.

[Dr. Phil Roe @DrPhilRoe]

This week, members of the GOP Doctors Caucus joined together in condemning Governor Cuomo’s suggestion that Americans not take an Operation Warp Speed vaccine. This is not only ignorant, it’s dangerous. Safe, effective vaccines save lives and offer a path back to normalcy.

[Dr. Phil Roe @DrPhilRoe]

Great progress from Operation Warp Speed this week! Using the existing infrastructure of CVS and Walgreens, as soon as a vaccine is approved by the FDA, we’ll be able to quickly make it available for our vulnerable seniors in long-term care facilities.

[House Committee on Veterans' Affairs @HouseVetAffairs]

Strong women have served in every branch of the military throughout our nation's history and their efforts should rightfully be on display for all to see. 💪

Great to see that this new monument at @ArlingtonNatl will do just that 🇺🇸 via @nikkiwentling
