I told them, there are 20 million families, including 400,000 here in Tennessee, that fill out the #FAFSA every year. I’m working to update the Higher Education Act and would like to include a proposal to shorten the FAFSA to 15-25 questions. #MakingCollegeWorthIt — PolitiTweet.org

Legislation to end surprise medical bills, increase transparency, and lower prescription drug costs is looking like a train that will get to the station when Congress reconvenes in September. #LowerHealthCareCosts https://t.co/bB4DCF8TVX — PolitiTweet.org

With companies like @mitsucars and @amazon bringing thousands of jobs to Tennessee—it’s no surprise that @bizfacilities says that our state has the best business climate in the country. Much of the credit for this goes to @GovBilllee. Thank you for your tireless service, Bill! — PolitiTweet.org

If Congress does not work to #LowerHealthCareCosts, pressure will only grow for a radical federal takeover of health care that will take away private insurance from the 180 million Americans who get insurance on the job. https://t.co/M9b3ePnfZq — PolitiTweet.org
