President Donald Trump on Monday endorsed U.S. Rep. Chuck Fleischmann, R-Ooltewah, for reelection in 2026.
Fleischmann will be seeking his ninth term in the U.S. House since succeeding former Rep. Zach Wamp in Tennessee’s 3rd District congressional seat in January 2011. Wamp decided to forgo a bid for reelection in 2010 and instead made a bid for governor. He lost the Republican primary to Bill Haslam, who went on to win the general election.
“Congressman Chuck Fleischmann is a terrific Representative for the incredible people of Tennessee’s 3rd Congressional District!” Trump wrote Monday on his social media platform, Truth Social.
