Rep. Andy Ogles, who represents Tennessee’s 5th district in the U.S. Congress, posted a series of statements on August 7, 2025, addressing legislative priorities and national policy debates.

In a tweet published at 03:45 UTC, Ogles urged action on Capitol Hill: “Let’s save our Capital and pass the Bowser Act.”

Later that day at 13:17 UTC, he commented on changes to federal census procedures under former President Donald Trump: “President Trump is restoring integrity to the Census—illegal aliens will NOT be counted. Democrats know this destroys their path to permanent power. They’ll throw everything they have at him. Every Republican must stand firm and defend him.”

At 14:05 UTC, Ogles signaled support for an unspecified initiative by writing: “ Honored to join this effort!”

Andy Ogles has served in Congress since replacing Jim Cooper in 2023 and currently resides in Columbia, Tennessee. He was born in Nashville in 1971 and holds degrees from Middle Tennessee State University and Western Kentucky University.
