Rep. Burchett sent out his first newsletter today.
It is lacking Jimmy Duncan's senile, incoherent ramblings, but still has a little red meat for his red state constituents. It will be distributed electronically.
In this issue, Burchett announces his committee assignments. A couple of them are curious. He also announces now mobile offices in the district for constituent services.
