I’m honored to receive the endorsement of NFIB, the nation’s leading small business advocacy organization! As a farmer and small business owner, I understand the hard work and sacrifice it takes to build a business, meet payroll, and serve your community. In Congress, I’ll fight for lower taxes, less red tape, and policies that help Tennessee’s small businesses grow and succeed. Thank you, NFIB, for your confidence and support!

I’m honored to announce the formation of my Defense Advisory Board and Veterans Coalition, led by distinguished military leaders who have dedicated their lives to serving our nation. Their experience and guidance will help me fight for the priorities our veterans and military families deserve—access to quality healthcare, benefits they have earned, and a strong national defense. I’m grateful for their support and their continued commitment to serving others. In Congress, I’ll make standing up for those who have worn our nation’s uniform a priority. 🇺🇸

What a turnout at my Hootenanny yesterday at The Davis General! I enjoyed visiting with friends old and new over bluegrass and burgers. I’m excited by the momentum we’re building every day and grateful for the outpouring of support. Thank you to everyone who came out and made it such a special afternoon! I’m ready to take my work ethic as a farmer to Washington and get to work for you!

Good news for Tennessee farmers! After reviewing Tennessee’s temporary dyed diesel fuel relief program for farmers and forestry operators and talking with fellow farmers, it was clear to me that extending the program through the end of the year to align with federal relief only makes sense. Farmers need enough time to take full advantage of the relief available to them. I contacted Governor Lee’s office to request that extension, and he has agreed to extend the program through December 31, 2026. A formal letter is expected next week. I appreciate Governor Lee and his team listening and responding to the needs of our agricultural community. As a farmer, I know every dollar matters, and I’ll keep working to deliver practical solutions for the families who feed our nation. Food security is national security.

Hatcher Clearly Comes Out on Top During Last Night’s Forum Thank you to the local chambers of commerce, our sponsors, and their membership for hosting last night’s congressional forum in Spring Hill. I especially appreciate the constituents from throughout the area who took time to attend and hear directly from the candidates. We discussed issues that matter to Tennessee families and businesses: the cost of living, infrastructure, workforce development, and our nation’s security. I welcomed the opportunity to share the experience and commonsense approach I will bring to Congress as a farmer, veterinarian, small business owner, and former Commissioner of Agriculture. My commitment is simple: listen to the people I serve, work hard, and get the job done. Tennessee deserves a representative who understands the challenges our communities face and brings practical experience to solving them. Thank you for being part of this important conversation. I would be honored to earn your vote. Work like a farmer. Send a farmer to Washington.

Thank you, Mayor Jacobs!

What we eat matters, where it comes from matters, and protecting the people who produce it matters.

"As a farmer, you cannot afford to be absent from the job. Your family and your business depend on action, hard work and determination to find solutions. When something goes unexpectedly on the farm, which happens more often than not, you have to move fast to solve the problem. That same sense of responsibility should happen in Congress."

Great day in Dyersburg at the Rural America Roundtable with the honorable Stephen Vaden, Senator Paul Rose, Representative Rusty Grills, Representative Chris Hurt and Mayor Eric Maupin. We had a great crowd and a productive discussion about the challenges and opportunities facing rural America, particularly Northwest Tennessee. Thank you to everyone who joined us and shared your concerns and ideas. Our rural communities deserve a strong voice in Washington. I look forward to representing ALL the people of Tennessee’s 5th District—listening, working hard, and making sure every community’s voice is heard.

As a farmer, I know farming is more than a job. It’s a way of life built on faith, hard work, sacrifice, and generations of dedication. Today, we celebrate the farmers and farm families who put food on our tables, strengthen our communities, and keep Tennessee agriculture moving forward. Your work matters to every American, every day. Food security is national security, and keeping our farms strong means keeping America strong. Thank you to everyone who works the land and helps feed our nation. Happy National Farmers Day! 🌾

I was honored to be asked by the President to speak at his rally. While I may not agree with every decision or every word, I firmly support the Republican agenda: lower taxes, less regulation, secure borders, a strong military, American energy, and responsible government spending. I stand for law enforcement, the Second Amendment, religious liberty, protecting the unborn, parents’ rights, and strong family farms. My commitment is simple: make life more affordable, protect our freedoms, and leave America stronger for the next generation.

I’m deeply honored to receive the endorsement of Col. James C. Harding, USAF (Ret.), of Huntingdon, Tennessee—America’s most-decorated living military veteran. At 92 years old, Colonel Harding is an extraordinary example of service, courage, and love of country. His endorsement means a great deal to me, but above all, I’m grateful for his service and sacrifice for our nation. Thank you, Colonel Harding, for your trust and support—and for a lifetime of service to America.

It was an honor to attend the Wounded Warriors lunch at the Water Valley Community Center alongside Goose, the unofficial mayor of Leiper’s Fork, Sheriff Bucky Rowland, Senator Joey Hensley, Representative Kip Capley, and other friends from the community. Thank you to everyone who helped bring folks together to support our wounded warriors. Their courage and sacrifice—and the sacrifices of their families—deserve our lasting gratitude and support. As your Congressman, I will stand up for our veterans and work to ensure they receive the care, benefits, and respect they have earned. 🇺🇸

Great discussion this morning with Westhaven residents! I appreciated the opportunity to listen, answer questions, and share why I’m running for Congress. We welcomed lots of new supporters and handed out a lot of yard signs and plenty of hats. Thank you to Mike Ryan for organizing the gathering and to everyone who came out. Your support means a great deal. We’re working every day to earn your vote and take Tennessee’s values to Washington. Work hard. Get the job done. Serve others.

Want a conservative Congressman who will get things done? Hire the farmer and businessman, Charlie Hatcher.

Food security is national security, and a healthier America starts with what we eat. As a farmer and veterinarian, I know the connection between healthy farms, healthy food, and healthy families. Making America Healthy Again means giving families better access to fresh, nutritious, affordable food and clear information about what’s in it. In Congress, I’ll fight to: • Strengthen American farms and our domestic food supply. • Expand access to locally grown food. • Support clear, honest food labeling. • Demand sound science and transparency in food safety. • Put better nutrition at the center of efforts to prevent chronic disease. Our farmers must be partners in building a healthier nation. Let’s give them the opportunity to do what they do best: feed America. Strong farms. Healthy families. A secure America.

Our farmers have been carrying the weight of these high diesel costs and I am confident that this partnership will bring relief to those feeding our country. I will continue to be a voice for the everyday, hardworking people. thehill.com/policy/energy-en…

“We are pleased to wholeheartedly endorse Dr. Charlie Hatcher for the House of Representatives. Charlie possesses two inseparable qualities we seek in our elected leaders – honesty and integrity.

He'll also support President Trump as he rebuilds our military and strengthens services for our fellow disabled veterans.

I’m honored to have the unanimous endorsement of Honor Our Veterans in my campaign for Congress. I will always stand with those who have served our country.

America’s national security must always come first. Today, I’m proud to announce my priorities for strengthening our national defense, supporting our service members and veterans, and protecting Tennessee’s military communities. As your Congressman, I will work to: Maintain a strong, well-equipped military ready to defend our nation. Secure our borders and protect America from foreign threats. Keep America ahead in artificial intelligence and critical technology. Ensure service members, military families, and veterans receive the care and support they deserve. Improve military housing and quality of life while protecting Tennessee’s military installations. End DEI-based military policies and put merit, readiness, and mission requirements first. Expand education, training, and career opportunities for those who serve. Protect America’s food supply, energy, water, and other critical resources. Stand up for Tennessee’s veterans with a 100% disability rating and protect their earned benefits. From Fort Campbell to Naval Support Activity Mid-South, I will stand with Tennessee’s military communities and fight for the resources our armed forces need to defend our nation. Those who defend our freedom deserve a Congressman who will fight for them. Strong defense. Strong Tennessee. Strong America.
