AGP Executive Report
Last update: 5 hours agoElection 2026: More than 1 million Tennesseans have voted early, with turnout in Williamson County already topping its 2022 total. Early voting ends Thursday, ahead of the Nov. 3 election. At the only nonpartisan gubernatorial forum, Democrat Jerri Green and independents David Hatley and Lauren Pinkston debated affordability, schools and rural health care; Republican Marsha Blackburn did not attend. State Sen. Brent Taylor, a congressional candidate, acknowledged sending unsolicited nude photos and called them “youthful indiscretions.” Prison Oversight: The search continues for convicted killer Jacob Morley, who escaped from a Lake County prison and is considered dangerous. His stolen truck was found in Illinois, and the reward has risen to $15,000; reports say local police were not notified for hours after he went missing. State Plans: Gov. Bill Lee is pitching Coffee County as the home of a proposed U.S. Space Academy, with NASA leading the search for a location. Death Penalty: Lee said he expects Christa Pike’s death sentence to stand unless courts rule otherwise. Tennessee has paused executions through year’s end after her failed execution in September.
