It’s nothing less than shameful that Gov. Bill Lee, his unqualified Commr of Ag, and Republican legislators are pushing legislation to give Bayer blanket civil immunity from the harm it is knowingly causing to TN farmers and consumers. #TeamJRC

Happy new year, Tennessee!
2026 is an exciting new year full of opportunities to serve our fellow Tennesseans. I look forward to working with each of you for the betterment of our beloved state.

We must do right by Tennessee families and fill in the SNAP funding gap. Are we going sit on our hands and do nothing and let 690,000 Tennesseans sit down to an empty table at Thanksgiving? #TeamJRC

Interesting series by @insightcrime.org on how Trump has merged the war on gangs with his anti-immigration agenda.
My concerns with the TBI Director's fear-mongering and misrepresentations stated during his budget hearing last year are mentioned in the second story.

Tariffs = Taxes
Fact: our costs of living are rising because of failed economic policies enacted by the White House.
This president promised to lower prices. Not only has he broken his promise, he has caused prices to increase substantially.

Thanks to the organizers of today’s Rural Voices Town Hall in Lebanon at Cumberland University. We covered a lot of issues of importance to Tennessee families. Public conversations matter.

Every red-blooded American should watch Ted Koppel’s piece on @cbssundaymorning.bsky.social that aired this morning then call your US Senator and member of Congress. The real cost of cuts to the NIH. #healthcare #TeamJRC

Tonight! #TeamJRC
GOP titled a bill “beautiful” that decimates Medicaid, eliminating health coverage for 100s of thousands, constitutes one of greatest transfers of wealth from America’s working poor to the wealthiest 1%, and adds $3.8 Trillion to US debt. Nothing beautiful about that. #TeamJRC #TN55

A much-needed post-session, inspirational cleanse this morning with good people doing great things for our community. I’m proud to represent all the families of #SoutheastNashville and fight for educational and economic opportunity for all. #TeamJRC #TN55
Congrats, Tennessee! You’re safe until next January. Hopefully.

Today is likely the last day of the first session of the 114th TN General Assembly. Things will be moving swiftly, so keep your head on a swivel for last-minute maneuvering and deal-cutting behind closed doors to pass harmful legislation. #TeamJRC
Honored to meet an American hero last week. Barry (“Butch”) E. Wilmore (Captain, U.S. Navy, Ret.) is a veteran of 3 spaceflights and has accumulated a total of 464 days in space, recently returning to Earth after over 9 mos aboard the ISS. He’s also a fellow Wilson Co. native. #TeamJRC #tn55 #nasa
JP Morgan says Trump just announced the largest tax increase since 1968. Every TN Republican senator and congressman in DC supports it. #TeamJRC
