Bill Lee: “Hopefully, we will really see our goals of ending HIV and AIDS by 2030.”

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.

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

There are a lot of questions. The people of our state deserve to have those questions answered.

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