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.

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

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

We have really seen the airport board and commissioners just step right into one decision to the next to make sure that this happened.
