Chuck Fleischmann, a member of the U.S. Congress representing Tennessee's 3rd district since 2011, recently shared his views on nuclear power and government spending through a series of tweets. Fleischmann, who has been serving in Congress after replacing Zach Wamp, emphasized the importance of nuclear energy and fiscal responsibility.

On February 7, 2025, Chuck Fleischmann tweeted about his agreement with Secretary Wright regarding the expansion of nuclear power in America. He stated: "I and @SecretaryWright are in absolute agreement that America must expand and unleash new nuclear power nationwide to make America Energy Dominate Again."

In another tweet posted on the same day, Fleischmann highlighted the benefits of nuclear power as a solution to meet increasing energy demands. He wrote: "Nuclear power is safe, reliable, affordable, and the best way to meet our growing demand for power. Secretary Wright and I will be working hand-in-hand to create America's New Nuclear Future!"

On February 10, 2025, Fleischmann addressed concerns over government spending by unelected officials in Washington D.C. He expressed his stance against what he perceives as wasteful expenditure: "Unelected, unaccountable DC bureaucrats have been going on a wasteful spending spree with taxpayer dollars for too long. We need to end the waste and abuse of taxpayer money and stop DC's endless appetite for spending."
