One in five in-network emergency-room visits result in the patient receiving a surprise medical bill. Read my op-ed in the @Tennessean about the Senate’s bipartisan plan to fix this. #LowerHealthCareCosts https://t.co/vOfQ9Qbr1H — PolitiTweet.org

It has been more than two months since President Trump announced Mr. Scalia would be the next Labor Secretary. So, I believe it is fair to vote on Mr. Scalia today, and I would encourage my colleagues to support his nomination. — PolitiTweet.org

That's why I'm glad today we named one of the most beautiful bridges in America on the Foothills Parkway the "Dean Stone Bridge," ensuring that visitors to the parkway will always know Stone's legacy. https://t.co/boy678jr2r https://t.co/o9yc3XvBKj — PolitiTweet.org

No one worked harder for the Foothills Parkway than Dean Stone. No one celebrated the @GreatSmokyNPS more enthusiastically then Dean Stone. And no one told the story of Blount County and its residents longer and better than Dean Stone. — PolitiTweet.org
