The long-term solutions to reduce crime anywhere — including our city — are better schools, more job opportunities, more mental health resources, more Memphis police officers who are hired locally and on the beat full-time, and real law enforcement partnerships with agencies that actually know policework. The National Guard doesn’t address any of that. It’s a political stunt that risks hurting our city’s image, and much worse, becoming a cover for ICE to come into Memphis and target hardworking

More here from last week’s ribbon-cutting on the final phase of the Foote Homes redevelopment project ⬇️ In 2015, I secured a $30 million Choice Neighborhood Grant to launch the redevelopment of Foote Homes, one of the most distressed public housing sites in Memphis. At the time, it was the largest single grant award I’d ever delivered to our city. A few others have taken its place — including the nearly $400 million investment I helped secure last year to build the new I-55 Bridge, “King’s Cros

I’m an original member of the Expand Social Security Caucus because Social Security works for Memphis. Americans have already earned and paid for every penny these benefits – it’s an insurance program, not a handout, and it’s become as American as apple pie. Social Secuirty is one of our most successful tools against poverty. Over 116,000 people in Shelby County rely on it to help make ends meet. For those with severe disabilities, for seniors and for families, Social Security is too important t

America is a country familiar with heroes, and today I was proud to honor two new American heroes on the House Floor of Congress: James Shaw Jr., a lifelong Nashvillian who risked his own life to save others in Sunday’s senseless act of violence at a Waffle House in Davidson County, and Tammie Jo Shults, a Southwest Airlines pilot and former U.S. Navy Aviator who safely guided a damaged commercial passenger jet to a runway in Philadelphia, avoiding more loss of life and potential catastrophic da

Yesterday I was proud to join patriotic resisters outside of the White House to speak out against President Trump's disturbing behavior at the Helsinki Summit. From mounting evidence of ongoing election interference and Trump's acquiescent interactions with Putin in Helsinki, to reports of frequent and egregious violations of the Constitution's Emoluments Clauses, my articles of Impeachment against President Trump have never been more necessary -- and the support is growing. | Congressman Steve
