Rep. Tim Burchett’s Press Office marked National Ag Day and announced the start of a new congressional committee meeting in a series of posts on March 24 and 25, 2026.
On March 24, the office recognized local farmers with the message: “Happy National Ag Day to all the dedicated farmers of East Tennessee, who help feed our state and our nation.”
The following day, two consecutive tweets highlighted activity from Congressman Burchett’s role as chairman: “HAPPENING NOW: DOGE Committee Chairman Tim Burchett begins his first meeting with the DOGE Subcommittee.” A subsequent post directed followers to view proceedings live: “LIVESTREAM HERE: https://t.co/1SHaVneXxQ”
