Rep. David Kustoff, currently serving in the U.S. Congress representing Tennessee’s 8th district, shared a series of tweets on July 10, 2025, discussing various topics including international trade, local law enforcement leadership, and legislative support for gig workers.
On July 10 at 15:02 UTC, Rep. Kustoff highlighted America’s economic leverage in global trade deals. He stated that “Countries across the globe are lining up to make trade deals with America—because we hold the economic leverage.” He further mentioned the recent passage of what he referred to as “One Big Beautiful Bill” by the House GOP, suggesting it would significantly boost economic momentum.
Later that day at 19:59 UTC, Kustoff tweeted about his meeting with City of Martin Chief of Police Phillip Fuqua in Weakley County. He expressed gratitude for Fuqua’s leadership and service to the community: “This week, I had the opportunity to meet with City of Martin Chief of Police Phillip Fuqua in Weakley County.”
In another tweet posted at 20:45 UTC on the same day, Kustoff celebrated a legislative victory for gig workers facilitated by both House GOP and White House efforts. He noted that this development would allow gig economy participants like Uber drivers and waitresses to retain more of their earnings: “Big win for gig workers! @HouseGOP & @WhiteHouse are cutting red tape.”
David Kustoff has served in Congress since replacing Stephen Fincher in 2017. Born in Memphis in 1966 and currently residing in Germantown, he holds degrees from the University of Memphis.
