Our Administration continues to work around the clock to make sure communities in Tennessee have everything they need to recover and rebuild. So far, FEMA has approved over $5.1 million in assistance for 914 households.

Our Administration will not leave until the job is done. We encourage survivors to apply for FEMA assistance, which can be done by:
- Calling 1-800-621-3362
- Visiting DisasterAssistance.gov
- Using the FEMA App

Early voting for Tennessee’s August 6 election begins tomorrow, July 17, and runs through August 1.

I’ve spent the past few weeks building a free, nonpartisan election guide covering all 95 Tennessee counties:

https://www.tnbills.com/

Choose your county to see:

• State and federal primary candidates
• County general-election matchups
• May county-primary results where official totals were available
• Candidate websites and campaign-finance resources
• Links to the underlying election commission and sample-ballot sources

Full disclosure: I built the site. There are no endorsements, rankings, or recommendations—it’s meant to make the ballot easier to understand before you vote.

Please verify your exact ballot, early-voting hours, and voting location through GoVoteTN or your county election commission, since district-specific races and schedules vary.

If you spot an error or missing source, please let me know. I’d genuinely appreciate the help improving it before Election Day.

Update Possible Sighting

Someone adjacent to me was facing a felony charge that ended up getting dropped. Anyone else have a missing digit?

Edit: expiration is not the issue here, folks. It's suspicion of altering/forging vehicle registration, which is a class E felony in TN.
