Working families and small business owners all across Tennessee are hurting. Too many jobs are gone; too many family budgets are strained.
That's why my top three priorities are jobs, jobs, and jobs.
And that's why I began a Jobs Tour of all 19 counties in the 8th Congressional District. On February 8th, we began meeting with business owners, community leaders, and working people to hear ideas on how to save jobs and create jobs. And I want to hear your ideas, too!
You can find more information on where we've been and where we're going next in the space below or on our Events page.
And for those of you who can't make it to a meeting, we've launched a Virtual Jobs Tour here on our website. In the forms below, you can share your ideas for saving jobs, creating jobs, and strengthening our communities.
I hope you'll take a moment to contribute your ideas to building a better future for West and Middle Tennessee.
