- Representing the First District of Tennessee in the House of Representatives the last four years has been a great honor and I look forward to serving in the 113th Congress. There are many challenges facing our nation, and I will continue to be a strong voice for the values of East Tennesseans. What issues are most important to you and your family?

Washington cannot continue to tax, borrow and spend. When these negotiations began, the president promised a balanced approach, and that’s not what this legislation is. We must get our deficit under control, and the only way to do that is t...o cut spending. While I am glad to see hardworking Americans will get much-needed permanent tax relief, I could not, in good faith, support legislation that does not address our spending problem. You can find my full statement on my website.See More- Sunday morning I will return to Washington to work on an agreement to avert the fiscal cliff. Hard-working Tennessee families do not deserve to see their taxes increase in the new year. With that said, we must get wasteful Washington spending under control. Please rest assured I will continue to push for a deal that cuts spending and gives East Tennesseans the certainty they need to plan their budgets. It's time for Washington to work under a budget just like we have to at home. What do you think?

Last week Alex Large (a fellow Tennessean that works in my Washington office) and I went on POTUS Sirius XM Radio to play bluegrass and Christmas carols. In case you missed it live, I've uploaded the clip to my YouTube page.- Pam and I want to wish you and your family a Merry Christmas! Today, like each holiday, I'm thinking of those serving our country that can't be with their families. My thoughts and prayers are with you and I thank you for your service. Merry Christmas!
- As your Congressman, it's important I hear your opinions. What fiscal cliff proposals do you support? Which do you oppose? Please leave your comments here, find me on Twitter, or email or call my offices to let me know where you stand.
