Bill Hagerty sucks up to Trump and has no interest in the people of Tennessee. Every time I write him over a concern, I only get a form letter that says thank you for writing. The first time I wrote him in early 2025, he wrote back saying he supports Trump’s policies because the “people “ voted for Trump. Since the , only form letters.
