The House passed the 'Reliable Power Act,' handing federal energy regulators the power to stall EPA rules on power-plant pollution. Here's every Republican with a report card who voted yes.
We all deserve access to quality healthcare so we can live healthy and productive lives.
Diana Harshbarger disagrees:
She voted to cut more than $1 trillion in federal health care and food assistance as part of the "One Big Beautiful Bill Act"
She voted to let ACA tax credits expire, increasing health costs for millions of Americans, driving many of them to switch to cheaper plans or abandon health insurance coverage altogether. And the less people there are with coverage, the higher the rest of our premiums will be.
She wants to repeal the ACA, reduce Medicare and Medicaid spending, and add work requirements to Medicaid.
At least 110,000 Tennesseans are expected to lose healthcare coverage under Trump's 'One Big Beautiful Bill' — with an estimated $7 billion slashed from TennCare over the next decade, and nine rural hospitals at risk of closure.
We need healthcare to live. Literally. What is Diana Harshbarger doing to help us? Making things worse. We deserve better.
Wants to Gut Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security
Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security aren't handouts. They're earned benefits that we pay into out of every single paycheck, our entire working lives, so that we can see a doctor, take care of our parents, and retire with dignity instead of going bankrupt when we get old or sick.
For years, Diana Harshbarger and her party have been quietly laying the groundwork to gut these programs. Now they've said the quiet part out loud.
They admitted the plan. Speaker Mike Johnson told the "Moon Griffon Show" that "entitlement programs like Medicare, Medicaid and things like Social Security ... have to be adjusted and fixed," and that "We have a plan to do that next year ... desperate times call for desperate measures."
We know what the plan looks like. The Republican Study Committee — a caucus of more than 170 House Republicans that includes Speaker Johnson and his top three deputies in leadership — released a budget calling for raising the Social Security retirement age for future retirees and converting Medicare into a privatized "premium support" model that would hand seniors over to for-profit insurance companies.
They already started. The "One Big Beautiful Bill Act" that Diana Harshbarger supported cut roughly $1 trillion from Medicaid to help pay for tax cuts for the richest 1 percent.
Even Republicans admit what "reform" means. Sen. Josh Hawley, on the push to "address" and "reform" these programs: "That's usually code for 'cut.' I'm not in favor of that."
It's a broken promise. Donald Trump pledged in 2024, "I will never do anything that will jeopardize or hurt Social Security or Medicare." Diana Harshbarger and her party are now preparing to do exactly that.
These programs are a promise: work hard, pay in your whole life, and your country will be there for you when you need it. Diana Harshbarger wants to break that promise so she can keep cutting taxes for billionaires. We deserve better.
We all need to pay our fair share to the government so it can provide the services that benefit all of us.
But billionaires in the U.S. pay a smaller tax rate than most teachers and nurses. That's not fair.
The wealthiest 400 billionaire families in the U.S. paid an average federal individual tax rate of just 8.2 percent. For comparison, the average American taxpayer in the same year paid 13 percent.
23 of the largest and most profitable companies in the US paid no federal corporate income taxes from 2018-2022. And 109 corporations paid zero federal tax in at least one of those years.
The "One Big Beautiful Bill Act" that Diana Harshbarger supported will reduce taxes for the top 1 percent of taxpayers by more than $1 trillion over the next decade, while raising taxes for the poorest Americans.
Diana Harshbarger is on the side of the billionaires and big business. We deserve better.
We all deserve clean air, clean water, and a healthy planet to live on.
Diana Harshbarger has supported the repealing and rolling back of environmental protections and climate change regulations, all so that billionaires and big business can plunder natural resources and destroy our environment in the name of profit.
She has a 0% score from the League of Conservation Voters in 2025, and a 0% lifetime score.
We're all going to pay the price for this with increased rates of asthma, cancer, and premature deaths. We deserve better.
A good job where we can make a living to support our families, own a home, and have a good life. That's the American Dream.
Diana Harshbarger supports policies and an administration that are turning the American Dream into a nightmare.
There were 20.8 million layoffs in the U.S. in 2025
55% of employed Americans say they're concerned about losing their jobs
The unemployment rate is 4.6%, the highest level since the pandemic
In 2025 the U.S. economy averaged just 15,000 jobs added per month, a dramatic decrease from the monthly average of 125,000 the year before Trump took office.
Overall employment for workers without college degrees fell by 361,000 jobs from January to September 2025.
58,000 net manufacturing jobs have been lost from April, when the administration announced "Liberation Day" tariffs, to September 2025.
Worked for Billionaires and Big Business and Not for Us
Our elected officials should work for us, the people.
Diana Harshbarger works for the industries that fund her, not for us. As a pharmacist and Vice Chair of the House Energy and Commerce Subcommittee on Health, she oversees the very drug companies that fill her campaign chest. Look at who some of HER top funders are:
McKesson Corp — one of the largest pharmaceutical distributors in the country
Alliance for Pharmacy Compounding
Empower Pharmacy
Blackstone Group — private equity
Diana Harshbarger is funded by billionaires and big business. No wonder she's not doing anything to improve OUR lives. We deserve better.
Let Elon Musk and DOGE Cut More Than $353 MILLION from Tennessee
We all want a government that works for us as efficiently and effectively as possible. Unfortunately our government doesn't always work that way, so reform is badly needed. Given how big and complicated the government is, it's a tough problem that needs well-thought out solutions, so that we don't make things worse.
That's not what we got.
Diana Harshbarger stood idly by while billionaire and ketamine-addled chaos monkey Elon Musk and his DOGE goons chainsawed their way through the U.S. government, promising to save the government at least $2 trillion annually in waste, fraud and abuse. Because they had no idea what they were doing and no one to stop them, in the end our government suffered, people suffered, Tennessee suffered, government spending actually went UP and Elon Musk became even richer.
Elon Musk and DOGE:
Had access to and exfiltrated (stole) all our sensitive personal information.
Kneecapped the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, which had returned over $26 billion to the American people since 2011.
Attempted to cut $4 billion in funding for medical research.
Will cost the federal government an estimated $500 billion in lost tax revenue (that could pay for programs for us), due to cuts at the IRS.
Laid waste to the employees at several government departments, removing their top experts and most skilled practitioners, and making their services less effective for all of us. This badly affected veterans, who make up 30% of the federal workforce.
DOGE defunded $37.7 million in grants across the University of Tennessee system — eliminating infectious disease research, vaccine education programs, a rural mental health program, and emergency response technology research.
Tennessee has roughly 56,400 civilian federal workers — DOGE's indiscriminate cuts are devastating Tennessee families and communities across the state.
Harshbarger joined the House DOGE Caucus, aligned with Elon Musk's slash-and-burn approach to the federal government — cheering on cuts that hurt Tennessee families.
We'd like to thank you, Diana Harshbarger, for doing absolutely nothing while an unelected South African big tech billionaire took a chainsaw to vital U.S. government functions and completely failed to make the government more efficient. We deserve better.
As a member of Congress, part of Diana Harshbarger's job is to act as a check and balance to the executive branch. She and her fellow members of Congress from Tennessee have completely abdicated their responsibility. These spineless cowards are rubber stamping everything Donald Trump wants to do, no matter how crazy, dangerous or harmful. And we've seen the results. We deserve better.
Protected Pedophiles by Blocking Release of the Epstein Files
Jeffrey Epstein ran a global sex trafficking network that sexually abused dozens of girls and women for decades. The FBI identified at least 35 minors with similar abuse histories. When finally released in 2026, the files — over 3 million pages, 2,000 videos, and 180,000 images — revealed what UN human rights experts called "disturbing and credible evidence" of a possible global criminal enterprise. Those experts said some of the conduct may meet the threshold for crimes against humanity, including sexual slavery, torture, and enforced disappearance.
For months, House Republican leadership blocked every vote to release these files — and Diana Harshbarger went along.
Diana Harshbarger voted to block the bipartisan effort to release the Jeffrey Epstein files (Roll Call 194, 211–210), protecting the accused pedophiles and powerful elites that were named in them, including Donald Trump. She never signed the discharge petition or co-sponsored the bipartisan release resolution — only reversing after Donald Trump gave House Republicans permission, 11 months later.
We deserve to feel safe in our neighborhoods, schools, and places of worship.
In order to do that, we need to take real steps to prevent gun violence. And despite what we've been told, it is possible to support the 2nd Amendment and support common-sense gun safety laws at the same time. But Diana Harshbarger has opposed bipartisan gun safety laws, while offering meaningless thoughts and prayers every time there's a new mass shooting.
A child or adolescent is killed with a gun every 2 hours and 48 minutes in the U.S.
Age-adjusted firearm homicide rates in the U.S. are 33 times greater than in Australia and 77 times greater than in Germany
Every day, 125 Americans are killed with guns, and more than 200 are shot and wounded
Women in the U.S. are 28 times more likely to be killed with a gun than women in other high-income countries.
Tennessee has the 9th highest gun death rate in the nation — about 19.8 per 100,000 people, roughly 55% higher than the national average, with approximately 1,400 Tennesseans dying from gun violence every year.
Diana Harshbarger is OK with our kids dying, as long as she has her guns. We deserve better.
Wants the Government Control to Control Our Bodies
America is the land of FREEDOM. Freedom of speech, freedom of religion, freedom to start a business, freedom to choose your own career path, freedom to make your own medical decisions, freedom to raise your children according to your values, and freedom to pursue happiness. Freedom is what makes America great.
Unless you're a woman and you're making the deeply personal decision about whether to have a baby or not. A decision that will dramatically affect the rest of your life. In that case Diana Harshbarger thinks that your freedom doesn't matter and that the government should get to control your body. That's not freedom, that's tyranny.
Diana Harshbarger:
Opposed Roe v. Wade
Supported federal efforts to ban abortion
Attacked Planned Parenthood throughout her career
Here in Tennessee we live under a near-total abortion ban — one of the strictest in the country — forcing patients to leave the state for care.
Voted against the Women's Health Protection Act (2021 and 2022), which would have protected abortion access nationwide.
Voted against the Right to Contraception Act and the Equal Access to Contraception for Veterans Act.
Arkansas House of Representatives candidate (and pastor) Robb Ryerse stated it well: "Abortion should remain safe and legal. These are personal decisions best made by patients, their doctors, and their faith — not politicians. You don't have to agree with every decision someone makes to believe they should be free to make it. That's what personal liberty means." Almost 2/3 of Americans agree and believe that abortion should be legal in all or most cases. But Diana Harshbarger thinks she knows better, and doesn't believe that we should have the freedom to make our own decisions. We deserve better.
In America our vote represents our will. It gives us the power to make the change that we want to see in the world.
Unfortunately that's not a sentiment that Diana Harshbarger's billionaire and big business donors can stomach. Because when we have voting power, we use it to make our lives better, and they lose power. Read about all the ways they're trying to take away our voting power on our about page, then come back here.
Diana Harshbarger has opposed legislation to make voting easier while supporting the SAVE Act, which would force every single American citizen to prove their citizenship status in person when registering to vote or updating their voter registration information. For the vast majority of Americans, this would mean presenting a passport or birth certificate at their local election office. This would disenfranchise millions of U.S. citizens: 146 million Americans do not have a passport, and 69 million women who have married do not have a birth certificate that matches their new legal name. Working-class and low-income Americans would also be disproportionately disenfranchised if the bill became law, as the vast majority of these groups do not possess a passport.
YOU HAVE POWER. Why else do you think Diana Harshbarger and Her bosses are working so hard to take it away? Don't let them. We deserve better.
Whether white, black, or brown, we should all be able to live in America and exercise our constitutional rights without fear that law enforcement will turn on us.
But the current administration has created a secret police force that is abusing their power against anyone who stands in their way, U.S. citizen or not. They claim to be going after "the worst of the worst", but are taking daycare workers, day laborers, grandmas and kids who are valued members of our communities. And Diana Harshbarger, staunch defender of the Second Amendment to fight back against government tyranny, is doing absolutely nothing while the government tyrannizes us.
ProPublica:They describe the legions of masked immigration officers operating in near-total anonymity on the orders of the president as the crossing of a line that had long set the United States apart from the world's most repressive regimes. ICE, in their view, has become an unfettered and unaccountable national police force.
ProPublica:Accosting people outside of their immigration court hearings where they're showing up and trying to do the right thing and then hauling them off to an immigration jail in the middle of the country where they can't access loved ones or speak to counsel. Bands of masked men apprehending people in broad daylight in the streets and hauling them off. Disappearing people to a third country, to a prison where there's a documented record of serious torture and human rights abuse.
New York Times:Masked and heavily armed, ICE agents are sent to cities such as Chicago, Los Angeles and Minneapolis to terrorize immigrant communities and brutalize people who challenge their efforts to stop and detain anyone deemed suspicious. To expand its reach, ICE greatly lowered its recruitment standards, effectively enlisting anyone who cares to sign up. To attract new officers, ICE advertises the chance to do violence to people deemed "enemies" of the United States, likening civil immigration enforcement to a war on a dangerous, alien force. The result is an agency whose agents' first recourse appears to be violence or the threat of violence.
They are executing American citizens. On January 7, 2026 an ICE agent in Minneapolis murdered an American citizen, a mother of 3, by shooting her in the face as she tried to drive away. Then the killer walked away, and our government lied and tried to gaslight us about what happened. Decent politicians condemned the murder. What did Diana Harshbarger have to say? Nothing.
They are executing American citizens: Part 2. On January 24, 2026 ICE agents in Minneapolis murdered an American citizen, a 37 year old ICU nurse, who was filming their activity and trying to help others. Then our government lied and tried to gaslight us about what happened.
And the list of the dead keeps growing. ICE agents — on duty and off — keep killing members of our communities, while Diana Harshbarger says nothing:
On December 31, 2025, an off-duty ICE officer in Northridge, Los Angeles shot and killed Keith Porter Jr., a 43-year-old U.S. citizen and father of two who was born and raised in Compton. Federal officials called it self-defense against an "active shooter," but Porter's family says he was peacefully returning home and never posed a threat — and witnesses reported only three shots, matching his autopsy and contradicting claims of an exchange of gunfire.
On July 7, 2026, an ICE officer in Houston shot and killed Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, a 52-year-old father of three and small-business owner who had lived in the U.S. for 35 years. Agents had been hunting a different white van. Harris County's medical examiner ruled his death a homicide, and his co-workers disputed ICE's claim that he used his vehicle as a weapon.
On July 13, 2026, an ICE agent in Biddeford, Maine shot and killed Joan Sebastian Guerrero, a 26-year-old Colombian father who was legally authorized to work in the U.S. and supported his wife and 3-year-old daughter by delivering food and cleaning a veterinary clinic. He was not the target of ICE's warrant — agents were looking for someone else — and were not wearing body cameras. Even Maine's Republican Senator Susan Collins urged DHS to halt non-urgent vehicle stops in the state.
It's happening here in Tennessee. In May 2025, ICE and the Tennessee Highway Patrol ran a six-night sweep of Nashville's Latino neighborhoods — more than 600 traffic stops and more than 150 arrests, the majority of them people with no criminal record — separating families and terrorizing entire communities.
If ICE can murder innocent U.S. citizens without repercussions, what could they do to you? ICE is out of control and a danger to us all - no one is safe. What's Diana Harshbarger going to do about it? Absolutely nothing. We deserve better.
Voted for an Unnecessary and Unpopular War in Iran
War destroys human lives, families and innocent people, causes economic ruin, and triggers immense suffering. War should always be the option of last resort.
In order to distract from the Epstein Files, Donald Trump started an illegal war of choice with Iran, and now:
We are being dog-walked by Israel, who has been trying to convince presidents to attack Iran forever, and finally found one dumb enough to do so
The American people don't want this war with Iran. But Diana Harshbarger supports this madness and voted against the War Powers Resolution that would have stopped it. Does Diana Harshbarger work for Israel or the people of Tennessee? We deserve better.
She voted against establishing an independent, bipartisan commission to investigate the January 6 attack — and then against creating the House select committee that ultimately investigated it.
Called a Black Congressman 'Boy' and Trans People 'Fairies'
We should hold our leaders to high standards. In an April 2025 podcast interview, Diana Harshbarger used slurs against a Black colleague and LGBTQ Americans. We deserve better.
Talking about 77-year-old Black Congressman Al Green, Harshbarger said: "I'm like gosh dangit boy, put that – he does not need that cane. That cane is a prop." She added that a colleague suggested to "screw the gold part off of it and see if there's a gun in there." Green responded that "boy" is a slur used "to demean, to degrade, to denigrate" — one he heard people call his father.
Has a History of Family Fraud and Financial Violations
We should hold our leaders to high standards. Diana Harshbarger's family business defrauded kidney patients, and she has violated federal financial disclosure law. We deserve better.
Her husband and business partner Robert Harshbarger was sentenced to 48 months in federal prison for secretly substituting cheap, non-FDA-approved iron sucrose from China for the approved drug given to kidney dialysis patients — while billing health care programs more than $848,000 for the real thing.
Harshbarger — who ran campaign ads attacking Chinese drug manufacturing — claimed she had "no role or involvement in that company whatsoever." State records showed she was the company's secretary, one of its two directors, and a shareholder for over a decade — and became its president after her husband went to prison.
In Congress, she violated the STOCK Act by failing to properly disclose more than 700 stock trades worth as much as $10.9 million.
Holds Town Halls — But Constituents Aren't Happy With the Answers
Diana Harshbarger does hold in-person town halls — but constituents haven't been happy with what they've heard.
At her February 2025 "Coffee with your Congresswoman" event in Blountville, protesters gathered outside and the crowd inside repeatedly interrupted her — and a constituent who challenged her stance on gender was removed from the building by law enforcement. Afterward, Harshbarger claimed on X that "the American people are fired up and behind us."
Constituents deserve real answers, not security escorts out the door. We deserve better.
We're all going to pay the price for this with increased rates of asthma, cancer, and premature deaths. We deserve better.
