Great to have the Tennessee Oncologists on the Hill today. These doctors truly care about their patients. They are vital to the survival of our loved ones. I am honored to work along side them, making sure they have the tools they need.

The DCS substantiated database is the first line of defense in protecting our children from abusers in the public school system. That same protection should be afforded to private schools and after school organizations.

I was thrilled to be joined today by ETSU’s Roan Scholars. These are impressive young men and women attending ETSU who I am sure will emerge as leaders in our nation and communities in the years to come.

Our Capitol was full of life today as farmers and ranchers joined us to celebrate Ag Day! My daughter, Whitley, and I got to meet some of the beautiful animals that came to visit. Tennessee agriculture is something worth protecting and championing every session.

Celebrating the Irish heritage of many across Tennessee today! Wishing all our constituents a blessed St. Patrick's Day filled with joy and good fortune.

Red Cross Month was established by President Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1943 to encourage volunteerism and watching out for our neighbors in tangible ways. This March, consider how you might lend a hand to a friend in need.

March is a time to honor fellow Tennesseans with developmental disabilities. If you know a family with a loved one who has a developmental disability, go out of your way to offer them a helping hand and show them some extra love this month.

I've been blessed to be surrounded by strong women my whole life. My mom led our family with love, my sisters who are always beside me, and my two beautiful daughters. On International Women's Day, I celebrate every woman who breaks barriers and lifts others up along the way.

Daylight Saving Time starts tomorrow. Move your clocks ahead one hour and enjoy the extra daylight tomorrow evening.

700+ superintendents, teachers, and healthcare leaders gathered yesterday for the Tennessee School Health Coalition Luncheon, all united around one goal: healthy schools for Tennessee kids. Humbled to receive Legislator of the Year and proud to champion this work.

We're supporting families with a loved one suffering from Alzheimer’s and related dementia. Through state grants, families can obtain up to $6,000/year to help cover the costs for in-home caregivers. We must support the selfless families who work so hard to care for their own.

I’ve filed HB1956 to expand step therapy exemptions so all cancer patients can access prescribed medications without unnecessary delays. When it comes to cancer, every day matters. Tennessee must put patients first and remove barriers to life-saving care. tnhousegop.org/member-newsroo…

In the storytelling capital of the world, we know better than anyone what words can do. A love of reading starts with access, encouragement, and a great teacher who makes it all click. On Read Across America Day, I'm proud to fight for every Tennessee child having exactly that.

This FFA Week, we thank the advisors and families who support the next generation of agricultural leaders. Hard work still matters.

.@DollyParton has long been a role model for ladies across Tennessee, including myself. Her legacy of service to the people of our state is simply unmatched. It blesses my heart to see her recognized in such a special way! knoxnews.com/story/news/loc…

American Heart Month reminds us to value prevention, awareness, and readiness to help others. Last session, I voted to pass the Smart Heart Act, which mandates that life-saving equipment and training to be in every high school across Tennessee.

It is such a blessing to see the beautiful lives impacted by our pro-life movement in Tennessee. Kennedi was fearfully and wonderfully made for such a time as this. This is who we’re fighting to protect. Tennessee has chosen life, and we are better for it.

Career and Technical Education opens doors to good-paying jobs and meaningful careers. Let’s keep investing in the hands that build and power America. Click here to visit a TCAT near you: tbr.edu/institutions/c…

The State of the Union address is this evening at 9pm EST. Take time to listen and stay engaged in the future of our nation.

It was great to have a Boy Scout representing Northeast Tennessee on the house floor today! It was an honor to welcome him alongside Representative Tim Hicks and Representative John Crawford.
