In a tweet from the morning of July 16, Guthrie highlighted his meeting with the National Corn Growers Association, stating: “Great start to the morning with the @NationalCorn Growers Association today! America’s corn industry is the best in the world, playing a fundamental role in unleashing our domestic energy through biofuels. Thanks for having me!”

Later that day, Guthrie referenced an interview with a local newspaper regarding major legislation under consideration. He wrote: ” Last week, I sat down with the LaRue County Herald to talk about what the One, Big, Beautiful Bill means for Kentucky families. This bill:
Cuts Taxes
Unleashes American Energy
Strengthens Medicaid
Supports Innovation

Take a look!” The post was made at 18:55 UTC.

In an evening tweet posted at 21:09 UTC, Guthrie addressed ongoing efforts to combat fentanyl abuse nationwide: “Fentanyl has affected too many families in America. It was an honor to be at the @WhiteHouse today as @POTUS signed the bipartisan HALT FENTANYL Act into law.

Our bill classifies fentanyl related substances as Schedule I drugs, and gives law enforcement tools to stop this”

Born in Florence, Alabama in 1964 and currently residing in Bowling Green, Guthrie continues to represent Kentucky’s 2nd District while focusing on issues such as agriculture policy, tax reform, healthcare programs like Medicaid, and drug enforcement measures.
