Bullying and cyberbullying have serious, long-lasting effects, which is why Tennessee isn’t tolerating that behavior. As of last month, a minor’s driving privileges or ability to get a license will be suspended for one year if found to be bullying.

Last week, @AGTennessee launched Operation Robocall Roundup in Tennessee to crack down on robocalls. Many of our telecommunications companies are refusing to comply with federal requirements and have been warned that this needs to end.

Local, state, & national law enforcement teamed up to crack down on crime in Memphis & the results were successful in removing violent offenders from our streets. Protecting Tennesseans & pursuing justice for victims is why I'm tough on crime & why I support law enforcement.

Annually, TN animal shelters see an estimated 6.5 million animals come in each year. Abandoning them is illegal in TN and under new law that I was proud to co-sponsor, the excuse that an animal was abandoned close to a shelter will not exempt you from consequences.

Our business atmosphere in Tennessee is the best in the nation which is why I will always support local businesses and do my part to crack down on crimes against them.

Marsha Blackburn has a proven track record of strong conservative leadership for TN. Not only has she fought for conservative policies in Washington, she’s also backed Republican candidates at every level in TN. @VoteMarsha has my full support!
