“Bill is on the select committee for the state Senate and they’re going to look at the issue of crime and how the TBI is working with local law enforcement, how they are processing things through the crime lab and things of that nature,” Blackburn said.

The senator encouraged her fellow Republicans to get out and vote on Nov. 8.

“We are willing to fight to preserve faith, family, freedom and opportunity for all, for everyone and we stay engaged and help do our best to get the vote out,” Blackburn said.
