Washington, DC – Congressman Chuck Fleischmann (TN-03), Chairman of Energy and Water Appropriations, released the following statement following House passage of H.R. 10545, the American Relief Act, 2025.
“Tennesseans and Americans deserve a government that functions properly and is open. Democracy and representative government can be messy at times, but when we debate and air our differences openly and honestly, the end result is always the best for the American People. Throughout this week, I have been involved in negotiations with my colleagues to keep our government open and provide essential aid for our farmers and Tennesseans affected by Hurricanes Helene and Milton. I am glad that we passed a reasonable, responsible bill that delivers for the American People. Now it's time for the Senate to follow the House's lead and pass our bill.”
