Why should we make our constituents wait on job growth?

I am humbled by the opportunity to serve the people of West Tennessee, but I never intended to become a career politician.

There's Frog Jump on my GPS, so it's there. It's a real place.

The farm subsidy program is something that was put into place over 60 years ago, and it was put into place to do one thing, and it's turned into something else.

When Ex-Im gives companies the resources they need to sell their products abroad, their employees, suppliers and communities succeed at home.

While other countries have been securing large export deals, American companies have been placed at a competitive disadvantage - forced to compete globally with one hand tied behind their back.

Our constituents deserve better than narrow-minded political games.

Fish and Wildlife has a significant amount of federal funds for land acquisition, yet it is skimping on management of the lands it already possesses and shortchanging local tax bases.

We represent the people's money, and we have to be good stewards of that.

This is other people's money that Washington is appropriating and spending.

We have to remember there is not a big printing press in Washington that continually prints money over and over.

I'm known up there as the guy from Frog Jump. And it's a good thing.
