An Open Letter

To: Sen. Hagerty, Rep. Fleischmann, Sen. Blackburn

From: A constituent in Chattanooga, TN

October 20, 2025

Reopen the government! Trump is using this government shutdown to remove projects that benefit “blue” cities- but these are Americans too and deserve to have their commitments honored. This is dishonorable behavior and erodes our democracy. You are Congress- the power of the purse is with you. Why are you giving that up to the executive branch? Reopen the government, let the ACA subsidies go through- healthcare is expensive enough. Do your job and actually help Tennessee people get to work and pay for healthcare.
