The Republican Party of Rutherford County has announced that the Honorable U.S. Senator Bob Corker will be the featured speaker at their GOP Lunch
meeting on Thursday, August 18, 2016 at noon.
In 2012, Tennesseans overwhelmingly elected Bob Corker to his second term in the U.S. Senate, where he serves as chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee and is an active member of the Banking Committee and the Budget Committee.
Corker was Tennessee's commissioner of finance and mayor of Chattanooga before being elected to the Senate in 2006, but he spent most of his life in business. At the age of 25, Bob started his own construction company with $8,000 in savings and a pickup truck, eventually expanding operations to 18 states across the country.
Recognizing the important impact U.S. leadership and diplomacy abroad can have on our economy and national security, Corker also is an active leader on the Foreign Relations Committee. Since taking office in 2007, he has visited more than 70 countries to gain a deeper understanding of the strategic relationships between the U.S. and other nations, and in 2015, his colleagues elected him chairman. As the lead Republican on the committee, Corker works with
his colleagues to set the committee agenda and help carry out legislative and oversight responsibilities.
