Hey New Jersey. Proud Tennessean here. I heard @Jack4NJ wants to bring Tennessee’s sales tax to your state. Lots of good things to import from TN — that isn’t one of them. No one can afford that. Vote @MikieSherrill !

Moses Freeman was one of my heroes. He fought for justice from the 1960s on, evolving with the times and always staying relevant. As a City Council member he relished the issues that may be difficult but would result in a meaningful improvement in the lives of Chattanoogans 1/2

@JermaineFreeman and I visited Volkswagen, which had an off day for production due to the semiconductor shortage. This is why I led the CHIPS Act and why we need far more speed & scale in chips production. Great to see the focus on electric vehicle manufacturing in Chattanooga.

We're beginning to see the scale of the devastation in Florida which is likely to rank among the worst in the nation’s history.

We are with you. And we'll stay at it for as long as it takes.

When I joined @NTIAgov, they asked if I would accompany this new Special Representative on a trip.
Little did I know that would turn into 2 months of #InternetForAll adventures across our country with @AndyBerke
Thanks for the laughs and I’ll see you around the neighborhood!
