Our priority issue on Greenbelt has officially passed the House and is headed to @GovBillLee's desk! Thankful to @StateHurt for carrying this in the House, and appreciate all representatives for showing unanimous support.

Did you know that while the circus was occurring in the Tennessee legislature last week, they actually passed a bill that Gov. Lee signed into law that massively increased funding and state requirements for school safety?
The so-called "Tennessee three" all voted against it.
"Updating our funding formula is past due." Thank you Representative @StateHurt for putting students first and serving on @TNedu's Economically Disadvantaged and Highly Mobile Students Subcommittee!
West TN is primed to deliver the workforce & quality of life needed to create the next great American success story with @Ford & SK Innovation. This is a watershed moment for Tennesseans as we lead the future of the automotive industry & advanced manufacturing.
We are excited to announce that @Ford & SK Innovation will invest $5.6 billion to build a 3,600-acre campus on the Memphis Regional Megasite — creating 5,800 new jobs. This is the largest project in Ford's history, & this historic investment will be transformational for West TN.
Congratulations @TNAgCommish! Tonight the Lauderdale County Chamber honored him with the Hometown Hero Award, recognizing the Commissioner for the work he and @tnagriculture have done to support the Lauderdale County Fair.
We are so proud to serve Tennessee’s #fairs.
The Memphis Regional Megasite offers tremendous opportunity for West Tennessee, & we are committed to building out infrastructure & supporting area workforce as we find the right company for this location. https://t.co/6oVqr7WS4V

Great to end a full day in West Tennessee with @SenGresham, @StateHurt, @mayor_william, Mayor David Livingston and a Tennessee State Library and Archives technology grant presentation to the Elma Ross Public Library in @CityOfBvilleTN.
It was great visiting the 82nd District to support @StateHurt.
I’m encouraged by where our state is headed because we have leaders like Chris Hurt in the legislature with strong conservative Tennessee values.
Sat down with small business & agriculture leaders in Dyer County to discuss the challenges facing their industries. They have a strong voice representing them in Nashville in @RustyGrills! @FennelMatt@StateHurt
