In a press release issued Wednesday, freshman Congressman John Rose (R-TN-06) announced the report that, of the votes taken since he took his office in January, 100 percent were in support of President Donald Trump. The score came from the FiveThirtyEight website, known for its polling analysis as well as blogs on politics, economics and sports. FiveThirtyEight scored all legislators of the 116th Congress as to how often they voted in line with President Trump’s position. The scorecard also considered the legislator’s predicted score when factoring in Trump’s share of the vote in the 2016 presidential election in the member’s district minus the share of the vote that went to Hillary Clinton. Congressman Rose’s 100 percent “Trump score” slightly exceeded FiveThirtyEight’s predicted score for him, which was 98.2 percent. “I am proud that my voting record is ranked the highest possible when it comes to supporting our President,” responded Rose. Expanding on his voting history that supported President Trump’s agenda, Rose said, “I have voted to finish the wall, support the President’s constitutional authority, and fully fund our national security efforts.” Rose says his vote “reflects my commitment to you, the voters who elected me. I count it a…

The men went on to further discuss the implications of rural versus urban needs and expectations and how that creates an involuntary divide of interests. Gill: As a new Congressman, what’s been your biggest impression of what you thought it would be like versus what it’s actually like? Rose: Well it’s a good question and it’s one I get often. There is a dysfunction in Washington. There’s no doubt about it. And I think the degree to which that’s true is a little bit eye opening for me. So that’s probably been the biggest impression that I’ve seen. Its just the dysfunctionality of the way Congress operates. Gill: Well as a business guy it’s clearly not run like a business. You have to constantly be scratching your head going, “And we’re doing this, why?” Rose agreed with Gill’s statement…

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Tennessee’s three freshman congressman held a variety of events for supporters who made their way to Washington, D.C. for their inaugural swearing in to the 116th Congress on January 3rd. Republicans Tim Burchett (TN-02), Mark Green (TN-07) and John Rose (TN-06) were all sworn into their first term as U.S. Representatives with their families surrounding them and later posed for pictures with the re-elected Democrat Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi (CA-12). After making their way through U.S. Capitol Police security in a line that extended outside the building, visitors on the day of the swearing in found themselves navigating crowded hallways and slow-moving elevators to arrive at legislators’ offices. With space being limited on the House floor for the actual swearing-in ceremony, additional invited supporters and guests joined staffers in the representatives’ congressional offices, viewing the events on monitors tuned to C-SPAN. U.S. Representatives are housed in one of the three House Office Buildings (HOB) located on Independence Avenue adjacent to the Capitol: Cannon House Office Building, Longworth House Office Building or Rayburn House Office Building. While the offices of both Burchett and Rose are in Longworth, Green is located in Cannon, the oldest of the…
