Rep. Andy Ogles, representing Tennessee’s 5th district in the U.S. Congress, has expressed his views on education and governance through a series of tweets. These statements were shared on February 6, 2025.
In one tweet posted at 18:07 UTC, Rep. Ogles emphasized his preference for local control over educational curricula, stating, "I trust the Tennesseans to craft curriculum for Tennessee students more than California or the Washington Swamp any day of the week." He also called for a dismantling of the federal Department of Education.
Later that day at 18:30 UTC, Rep. Ogles expressed gratitude towards fellow Congressman Andy Biggs from Arizona for cosponsoring legislation aimed at redirecting funds from USAID to enhance border security. In this tweet, he criticized current immigration policies under President Biden's administration.
At 20:13 UTC, Rep. Ogles criticized Washington D.C.'s leadership, describing it as a "radically progressive regime" led by Mayor Bowser and her council. He suggested that Congress should reclaim its constitutional authority over the capital city.
