said Senator Blackburn

There is no shortage of tasks for the Senate to tackle, and in the new Congress my priorities are cutting taxes, getting the economy working again, securing our border, and protecting children online. We must also continue to combat the New Axis of Evil, fight human traffickers, increase access to health care for veterans, and keep men out of women’s sports.”
