Rep. Andy Ogles, a member of the U.S. Congress representing Tennessee’s 5th district since 2023, has recently made several announcements through his social media platform. Ogles, who succeeded Jim Cooper in office, has been active in addressing legislative matters and international concerns.
On October 29, 2024, Rep. Ogles announced his collaboration with fellow representatives to introduce new legislation aimed at disaster relief. He stated: “That’s why I, along with @repaaronbean, @vernbuchanan, and @DrNealDunnFL2, have introduced the Americans First Disaster Relief Act.”
The following day on October 30, 2024, he addressed issues concerning South Africa’s trade practices and human rights record. In his post he expressed concern over the country’s exploitation of trade privileges and called for stricter enforcement of standards: “South Africa is exploiting duty-free trade privileges…Enough is enough!”
Later that same day, Rep. Ogles highlighted his efforts in advocating for veterans’ services. He noted his success in passing multiple pieces of legislation aimed at improving benefits for veterans: “Not only have I passed 5 pieces of legislation advocating for strengthened VA services…” His commitment to veteran affairs was underscored by an invitation for veterans to learn more about available resources.
