Rep. Diana Harshbarger, serving Tennessee’s 1st district in the U.S. Congress since 2021, recently took to social media to share her views on national symbols and trade practices. Born in Kingsport, Tennessee, and an alumnus of East Tennessee State University, Harshbarger continues to express her legislative initiatives and opinions through her online presence.

On February 13, 2025, Rep. Harshbarger expressed her support for the American flag by reintroducing the One Flag for All Act with Senator Roger Marshall. In a tweet posted at 14:42 UTC, she stated, "The soldiers at Iwo Jima didn’t raise Old Glory with the idea that the pride flag would ever outshine the American flag." This legislation aims to ensure that no other flag takes precedence over the American flag.

Later that day at 15:27 UTC, Rep. Harshbarger extended gratitude towards her colleagues who cosponsored the bill. She tweeted "Thank you cosponsors!", listing several representatives who supported this initiative alongside a link to further information.

In another statement on February 13 at 18:55 UTC, Harshbarger commented on international trade practices under President Trump's administration. She noted "Our nation has been at the bad end of business deals regarding trade practices with other countries for far too long." Her remarks highlighted support for reciprocal tariffs introduced by Trump as a measure against unfair trade deals.
