Dear Friend,
Dear Friend,
I am writing this today from Cuba where I am helping Secretary of State John Kerry re-open the U.S. Embassy in Havana. This week, we marked the 80th anniversary of Social Security, I helped open the new Memphis and Shelby County Office of Re-Entry to help non-violent ex-offenders get back on their feet, and I joined Priscilla Presley at Graceland for the unveiling of a new Forever Stamp in the King’s honor. Keep reading to learn more.
Dear Friend,
Tomorrow morning from 10am to 1pm, my office will hold “Congress on your Corner” office hours at the Benjamin L. Hooks Library.

We hope you can make it.

Dear Friend,
I am writing you from Charleston, South Carolina, where I joined President Obama and Members of Congress today in paying my respects to the victims of the Charleston Church shooting. This week, we saw a number of changes in our country, the Supreme Court ruled that Memphians can keep the healthcare subsidies they receive through the Affordable Care Act and also ruled that same-sex couples have a constitutional right to marry in all 50 states, and Governor Haslam called for the Confederate flag to be removed from Tennessee license plates.
Dear Friend,
The senseless Emanuel AME Church murders are so horrific and so sad that they are hard to fathom. There are still some in America who are so full of hate that we must ask what put this young man on this path. Read my full statement on Wednesday’s shootings in Charleston here.
