Tennessee is home to more than 77,000 farms and nearly 11 million acres of farmland. That’s why I voted for and I am glad the Senate Appropriations Committee approved legislation that is a win for Tennessee farmers. https://t.co/U5YWWVSYlI — PolitiTweet.org

Additionally, this bill includes funding for programs authorized in the SUPPORT for Patients and Communities Act – legislation I sponsored and @POTUS signed into law to help states and local communities fight the opioid crisis. #OpioidCrisisResponse — PolitiTweet.org

This bill also provides critical funding for Tennessee projects and priorities – such as helping build roads and bridges, supporting housing needs and enhancing aviation safety at Jackson, Millington and Smyrna. — PolitiTweet.org

It is embarrassing to ask well-qualified Americans to be nominated by the President of the United States for an important position and then say, “You are innocent until you are nominated” or drag things out for a long period of time. — PolitiTweet.org

Lamar Alexander @SenAlexander

It has been about two months since @POTUS announced Mr. Scalia would be the next Labor Secretary. This Committee considered President Obama’s cabinet nominees promptly and with respect, and I trust that the Committee will continue that with President Trump’s nominees. — PolitiTweet.org

Lamar Alexander @SenAlexander

Businesses and workers need a Secretary of Labor who will steer the Department with a steady hand. I believe Mr. Scalia has the skills to help continue to grow our economy and help workers gain the skills they need to succeed in today’s workplace. — PolitiTweet.org
