Tennessee Republican Delegation Members Vote Against Continuing Resolution

Four Tennessee U.S. representatives voted against a continuing resolution on Thursday that would fund the government through March 1 and March 8.

The continuing resolution passed the House of Representatives by a 314-108 vote.

(A big thanks to) U.S. Representatives Diana Harshbarger (R-TN-01), Tim Burchett (R-TN-02), John Rose (R-TN-06), and Mark Green (R-TN-07) all voted against the resolution, while U.S. Representatives Chuck Fleischmann (R-TN-03) and David Kustoff (R-TN-08) voted with the majority. (Those two need a wake up call.)

U.S. Representatives Scott DesJarlais (R-TN-04) and Andy Ogles (R-TN-05) were among the 11 members who did not vote.

Green said his vote against the resolution “was a vote against the status quo, a vote against reckless spending, and a vote against stealing from our future generations.”
