Bill Lee: “Can you commit to increasing the minimum wage? I mean, this would help tremendously.”

I hope that Tennessee governor Bill Lee’s decision to postpone the last execution scheduled for this year will give lawmakers time to consider the subject seriously.

The people of our state deserve to have those questions answered. And that’s what this investigation’s for.

I will seek an independent investigation and pause all executions for the rest of 2026.

There are a lot of questions.
