Rep. Tim Burchett, who has been serving in the U.S. Congress representing Tennessee's 2nd district since 2019, shared a series of statements on social media regarding education policy, media appearances, and veteran recognition.
On November 18, 2024, Rep. Burchett expressed his stance on educational funding by suggesting a significant restructuring of federal education resources. He stated: "Gut the Department of Education and send the money back to the states. Not one bureaucrat in Washington, D.C. has ever taught a kid in Tennessee to read or write."
Later that day, Rep. Burchett announced his participation in a CNN program through social media: "I crawled into the lions' den for @CNN's Have I Got News For You show." This indicates his involvement in national media discussions.
On November 19, 2024, Rep. Burchett recognized Corporal Phelps for his military service during World War II: "Corporal Phelps earned four battle stars and received a citation from President Roosevelt for his service during the Siege of Bastogne. He will turn 100 years old in early 2025, and I'm honored to name him TN-02's Veteran of the Month." This highlights Burchett’s commitment to honoring veterans within his district.
