Rep Chris Todd

I wanted to share a quick update on the time change bill we’ve been working on this session, along with recent poll results from Madison County. We surveyed 569 voters, and the message was clear: nearly 76% said Tennessee should stop changing clocks twice a year, and about 68% support staying on standard time year-round to avoid the change altogether. That lines up with what I’ve been hearing across the district—people are tired of the disruption and want consistency. This bill passed the House Public Works subcommittee unanimously and had more than 17 cosponsors, reflecting strong support. That’s why it’s disappointing the Senate State and Local Government Committee voted it down for the year. I still believe this is worth getting done, and I appreciate everyone who has spoken up and supported the effort. We’ll keep working on it.

Save the Date! Tennessee Ag Day on the Hill returns to the State Capitol on March 17, 2026. Farm and forester products producers from across the state will gather to celebrate #TNAgriculture and highlight the importance of our state’s #1 industry. #AgDayOnTheHill

I’ve heard from a lot of folks who are tired of changing the clocks twice a year. That’s why I introduced legislation to keep Tennessee on standard time year round. It’s a simple, common sense change that would be better for our health and daily routines. Read more here: wbbjtv.com/2026/03/11/rep…

Looking forward to speaking in Jackson about healthcare reform and the need to bring more free-market competition to our healthcare system. Join us for the Americans for Prosperity West Tennessee Healthcare Reform Breakfast

I recently learned about an incredible organization called Galilee Roots that is doing important work in Israel. Many Israeli farmers have been called up to serve in the Israel Defense Forces, leaving their farms and crops behind as they defend their country. Instead of letting those farms fail, volunteers are stepping in to harvest crops, care for orchards, and keep the land productive until the farmers return home. It’s a powerful reminder that when people step forward to defend their nation, communities step forward to support them. galileeroots.org

Great meeting with members of the Civil Air Patrol Tennessee Wing, the official auxiliary of the United States Air Force. I appreciated learning more about the important work they do supporting emergency response, search and rescue, and developing young leaders across our state. Proud to support the mission and the volunteers who make it possible

BREAKING: The U.S. Supreme Court just ruled in a 6–3 decision that California's school policy keeping secrets from parents about their children's gender transitions is unconstitutional.

Proud to be delivering real results for Tennessee. These are just a few of the legislative accomplishments we’ve secured so far in 2026, protecting jobs, defending religious freedom, supporting education, and keeping our state strong. More work ahead and I’m just getting started.

Had a great discussion with leadership from the UT Institute of Agriculture about how we can better support Tennessee’s agriculture producers. Our farmers and ag businesses are the backbone of this state, and it’s important we stay focused on practical ways to help them be more successful. Grateful for the work UTIA does and the partnership moving forward. #TNLeg #Agriculture #TennesseeAg #Farmers #RuralTennessee #UTIA #StatePolicy

Met with Aspell recovery leaders this week to discuss treatment housing and the growing concerns surrounding kratom. These are serious issues that demand thoughtful, evidence-based solutions. We must ensure our policies truly help people recover, protect families, and give communities the right tools to address addiction responsibly. I’m grateful for the professionals and advocates who shared their insight. The work continues and we will get it right. #TNLeg #Recovery #AddictionRecovery #PublicSafety #MentalHealth #PolicyMatters #Tennessee

I filed House Bill 2064 this week to modernize Tennessee law governing the carrying of firearms. This legislation removes vague language and ensures our statutes are clear while protecting the rights of law-abiding Tennesseans. #TNGov #HB2064 #SecondAmendment

Thank you, Donald J. Trump! Tennessee will come back stronger than ever. #TennesseeStrong #TrumpDelivers

Great to welcome cattle producers from across the country to Tennessee! Our cattle industry plays a vital role in feeding American families and keeping our nation strong and independent. Thanks to our farmers and ranchers, we can rely on homegrown American beef instead of foreign sources. Proud of the work Farm Bureau and our producers do every day to support agriculture and rural communities. Tennessee is honored to stand with you

Great discussion today on health freedom and transparency. I agree with RFK Jr. protecting personal choice and giving people honest information about food and medication. Government should not make your decisions. It should help you understand them. Appreciated the positive feedback on my work leading the fluoride ban bill last year. I will keep fighting for common sense health policy. #HealthFreedom #RFKJr #Transparency #Tennessee #CommonSense

Another great day of conversations and connections with producers from across the country at #CattleCon26! #TNFarmBureau | #FBProud
