Bill Lee: “Reserving the right to object. The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. The Senator from Utah.”

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

There are a lot of questions.
