Senator Bill Hagerty, a Republican representing Tennessee in the U.S. Senate, recently addressed several national issues on his official X (formerly Twitter) account, including energy capacity, election integrity, and securities regulation.

On February 11, 2026, Hagerty commended the Biden administration and the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA), stating: “.@POTUS doing a great job and TVA is heeding the call to preserve and expand capacity, focusing on American competitiveness.”

Addressing election laws on February 12, 2026, Hagerty referenced former President Barack Obama while advocating for the SAVE Act. He wrote: “To quote @BarackObama, ‘Let me be perfectly clear.’ The SAVE Act ensures only American citizens have a say in America’s elections. Every vote cast by a non-citizen disenfranchises an American and silences their voice. 71% of Democrats support voter ID laws. The SAVE Act”.

On February 13, 2026, Hagerty responded to criticism regarding securities market oversight with: “False. This is disingenuous. Chairman @SECPaulSAtkins clearly affirmed that insider trading is illegal in securities markets. Under his leadership, @SECGov has continued to bring enforcement actions against insider trading. The record speaks for itself.”

Senator Hagerty serves on multiple Senate committees during the 119th Congress—including Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs; Foreign Relations; Appropriations; and Rules and Administration—according to his official website. His office operates statewide district locations across Tennessee as well as in Washington D.C., offering constituent services such as casework assistance and federal agency support through regional offices in areas like Chattanooga, Knoxville and the Tri-Cities.
