Rep. Andy Ogles, a U.S. Congressman representing Tennessee’s 5th district since 2023, has recently taken to social media to express his political stance on several issues. Born in Nashville in 1971 and currently residing in Columbia, Ogles holds degrees from Middle Tennessee State University and Western Kentucky University.

On June 6, 2025, Rep. Ogles tweeted “100% DEFUND “, suggesting a strong advocacy for defunding certain initiatives or programs. The tweet does not specify the exact target of defunding but implies an urgent call to action.

The following day, June 7, 2025, he posted another tweet “AGREED!!!”. This message appears to be in agreement with a previous statement or proposal, though the context is not provided within the tweet itself.

Later that same day, Ogles tweeted “Who agrees??? NO more breaks, NO weekends off, NO vacations until Congress codifies ALL DOGE cuts!!! More Cuts More Deportations More MAGA More DOGE @realDonaldTrump @elonmusk @freedomcaucus”. This post outlines his position on legislative priorities and calls for continuous congressional activity until specific budgetary reductions are enacted. He emphasizes increased cuts and deportations while aligning with the Make America Great Again (MAGA) movement and mentions public figures such as Donald Trump and Elon Musk.

Andy Ogles succeeded Jim Cooper in representing Tennessee’s 5th district after the latter’s departure from Congress in 2023.
