Tennessee Tuesday

 

When the Senate is in session, Senator Corker and Senator Alexander hold an informal breakfast on Tuesday mornings for Tennesseans visiting Washington. 

 

Tennessee Tuesday provides a great opportunity to speak with both Senators and schedule meetings with their staffs to discuss legislation important to you or your organization. A Senate photographer attends regularly to take photos. 

 

If you would like to join us, please contact our office in advance of your visit to Washington so that we can arrange for your attendance.

 

We look forward to seeing you at the next Tennessee Tuesday.

White House Tours

Unfortunately, these tours are not guaranteed.  All requests are approved by the White House on a first-come, first served basis due to limited availability.
