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.

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!

The “rapid bailout action” only emboldens criminals in Memphis, telling them we don’t take crime seriously. Let the message be loud & clear that we will fight back against crime in Memphis and we won't excuse criminal behavior. It’s simple: commit the crime, serve the time.
