Rep. Andy Ogles, a U.S. Congressman representing Tennessee’s 5th district since 2023, has recently shared several thoughts and calls to action on social media. Ogles, who succeeded Jim Cooper in his congressional role, was born in Nashville in 1971 and currently resides in Columbia. He holds degrees from Middle Tennessee State University and Western Kentucky University.

On July 9, 2025, Rep. Ogles expressed concerns regarding sanctuary cities and their potential risks. He stated that “More sanctuary cities = more sleeper cells.” In the same tweet, he criticized “Open-borders O’Connell,” claiming this policy endangers Tennesseans and emphasized that the ongoing investigation into these matters is not yet complete.

Later that day on July 10, 2025, he tweeted a message of support for Texas by urging followers to “Continue praying for Texas.” The brief message reflects a sentiment of solidarity with the state.

In another tweet posted shortly after on July 10, Rep. Ogles conveyed gratitude by stating “Good. And thank God for his Divine protection.” This suggests an acknowledgment of favorable developments or outcomes related to previous concerns or events.

Andy Ogles is actively engaging with issues pertinent to both his constituents and broader national interests through social media platforms.
