Senator Bill Hagerty, a Republican representing Tennessee in the U.S. Senate, posted a series of statements on social media regarding legislative priorities and concerns over data privacy. The tweets were published between February 9 and February 10, 2026.
On February 9, 2026, Hagerty commented on his support for the SAVE Act during an appearance on national television: “The SAVE Act makes complete sense to most Americans. I’m one of the co-sponsors of the bill in the United States Senate. We’re going to keep pressing on this.”
Later that day, Hagerty criticized Verizon for alleged mishandling of his personal information and a lack of response from its leadership: “Verizon broke my trust. They illegally shared my data, and CEO Dan Schulman ignored my letter I sent to him. @Verizon, can you hear me now?”
On February 10, Hagerty expanded his criticism by linking Verizon’s actions to ongoing legal investigations involving former President Trump: “.@Verizon’s complicity in Jack Smith’s witch hunt against President Trump and his supporters, like me, constitutes a profound breach of trust. If this can happen to a sitting United States Senator, it can happen to any American. We need accountability.”
Senator Hagerty maintains several district offices across Tennessee as well as a location in Washington, D.C., offering services such as casework assistance and federal agency support (official website). He serves on multiple Senate committees for the 119th Congress including Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs; Foreign Relations; Appropriations; and Rules and Administration.
