Congressman Kustoff Applauds Senate Confirmation of Mitch Graves to TVA Board

WASHINGTON - Congressman David Kustoff (R-TN-08) released the following statement after the U.S. Senate voted last night to confirm Mitch Graves to serve on the Tennessee Valley Authority Board of Directors.

"I applaud the U.S. Senate's vote today confirming Mitch Graves to the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA)'s Board of Directors. President Trump made an outstanding choice nominating Mitch Graves for the TVA Board of Directors.

With his experience leading as Chairman and President of the Memphis Light, Gas, and Water (MLG&W) Board, Mitch has a deep and profound understanding of how energy policy and infrastructure impact our communities.

Mitch's executive leadership as the CEO of the West Cancer Center will be big benefit to the TVA Board as it makes critical and crucial decisions for the Mid-South. Mitch Graves will also bring a high level of expertise to the TVA Board of Directors. His confirmation is a win for Memphis, a win for West Tennessee, and a win for the entire TVA region. Thank you to Senator Marsha Blackburn and Senator Bill Hagerty for their support of this important nomination."
