Bill Lee: “I would also like to thank Congressman Barbara Lee-- Congresswoman Barbara Lee for her leadership on this issue.”

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

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 Tennessee have determined that the death penalty is the appropriate penalty for the most heinous crimes in the state.

There are a lot of questions.
