#GovCon26 Highlights DAY 1 ✅
Over the next five days, we’re revisiting the moments that made #GovCon26 one to remember. First up: the Commissioner’s Luncheon, where we explored Chattanooga’s past, Tennessee’s present and the opportunities shaping our future.
The afternoon featured remarks from Chattanooga Mayor Tim Kelly, @UTChattanooga Chancellor Lori Mann Bruce, @Jobs4_TN Commissioner Deniece Thomas and @RepChuck, along with a look at Chattanooga’s history from Historian Linda Moss Mines.
@BCG's Tejus Kothari and Claudia Newman-Martin closed out the luncheon with insights from the TBLC’s Tennessee Economic Competitiveness Project, exploring the forces shaping the future of work and what it will take for Tennessee to remain competitive, lead in the jobs and industries of the future and create opportunity for generations to come.👏

A new @thecentersquare poll finds 55% of Americans are concerned about Democratic Socialists winning their elections.
"100% of the American electorate should be concerned," reacts @RepChuck, "because the two terms don't go together."

Putting American energy first means building, innovating, and protecting.
Our FY27 Energy and Water bill, led by @RepChuck:
✅ Expands nuclear production
✅ Reduces foreign reliance
✅ Strengthens the grid and baseload sources
We are ensuring the next generation of U.S. power.

Last week, I joined @RepChuck to hear directly from Chattanooga Veterans.
Their feedback is a crucial part of building a VA that puts Veterans first and delivers for them every day.

I’m proud to introduce the Integrity for Taxpayers Act to hold fraudsters accountable in our federal healthcare systems, protect taxpayer dollars, and restore integrity to the services that Americans rely on.
Thank you to @RepMichaelRulli @RepChuck @RepRWilliams for joining me to ensure taxpayer dollars go toward the patient care they were intended for, not into the pockets of fraudsters chasing a quick payday.

America’s nuclear energy future depends on the work happening today.
@RepChuck discusses the importance of nuclear energy and how EM’s cleanup and revitalization efforts are contributing to the era of energy dominance!

HISTORIC: We just approved the first-ever U.S. commercial small modular reactor construction permit, completed ahead of schedule in just 14 months, through efficient, safety-focused review. The future of advanced nuclear starts now. nrc.gov/about-nrc/news-relea… #NRCNews

Science and discovery are supported throughout our FY26-enacted and FY27 committee-reported CJS bills, delivering community investments that help turn research into real-world results.
East Tennessee is leading the way in scientific achievement. Seeing that expertise lay the groundwork for the first commercial quantum computer right here in Chattanooga is a tremendous point of pride for our district and for American ingenuity. epb.com/newsroom/press-relea…

Excited to continue our partnership with @ENERGY, @SecretaryWright, and the Administration to unleash American energy. This support will unlock faster, lower-cost transmission upgrades for the Tennessee Valley region!

The era of primarily emphasizing Stockpile Stewardship is over.
Going forward we will be defined primarily as an organization focused on weapons production.

The Tennessee Valley continues to play a leading role in the future of fusion energy. 🇺🇸🤝🇬🇧
We’re working with the State of Tennessee and the United Kingdom to strengthen collaboration and help accelerate the commercial deployment of fusion energy, with a focus on strengthening supply chains, developing the workforce and supporting effective regulation.
The collaboration builds on fusion projects already underway in Tennessee and the United Kingdom, including the Project Infinity in Tennessee and the UK Infinity Fusion Consortium. Together, these efforts connect expertise from TVA, Type One Energy, Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Tokamak Energy, the UK Atomic Energy Authority and partners across the fusion supply chain.
By working together, we’re helping create the conditions to bring commercial fusion online while supporting new workforce and economic opportunities in the Tennessee Valley.
