Rep. David Kustoff U.S. Representative for Tennessee's 8th District | Official Website
Rep. David Kustoff, a member of the U.S. Congress representing Tennessee's 8th district since 2017, shared several updates recently through his social media platform. His posts included legislative news, a meeting with a university president, and condolences on the passing of a community figure.
On April 1, 2025, Rep. Kustoff announced the passage of a bill he introduced, "PASSED: The House passed H.R. 1155, the Recovery of Stolen Checks Act, that I introduced with @RepNicole and @RepTerriSewell." The legislation aims to support victims of mail theft by offering them the option to receive replacement payments through direct deposit, instead of receiving another check by mail.
Later that day, he met with notable educators, "Thank you for stopping by, @UTKnoxville President @randyboyd!" The meeting's specifics were not detailed, but it underscores ongoing collaboration with educational institutions.
On a more somber note, Rep. Kustoff expressed his condolences on the passing of Jim Ayers, a local philanthropist. "Roberta and I are deeply saddened to hear about the passing of our friend, Jim Ayers." Ayers was recognized for his contributions to education, notably through the Ayers Foundation Scholars Program, which helped many Tennessee students access higher education opportunities.
