 |  Blackburn Considering Run for Governor
Republican Sen. Marsha Blackburn has been signaling a likely bid for governor, making calls and gaining support from state and federal officials. If she runs, Blackburn would be a strong contender in the 2026 race, with the opportunity to become Tennessee's first female governor. Knox County Mayor Glenn Jacobs indicated in a post on X that he will back Blackburn as governor if she runs. With Tennessee's Republican majority, the GOP primary is expected to decide the next governor, as current Gov. Bill Lee (R) is term-limited. | Teacher Arrested After Cocaine Found in Purse A Middle Tennessee teacher, Mia King, 24, was arrested after deputies discovered approximately three grams of cocaine, a long spoon with residue, and a rolled-up $5 bill in her open purse at Cheatham Middle School. The sixth grade teacher came under investigation following an anonymous tip about drug use during lunch breaks, and the school resource officer observed signs of impairment while King was held in the principal's office. A spokesperson for the Cheatham County School District stated that King, an English teacher hired in 2023, had no prior issues before being fired on Monday following her arrest. King was booked into the Cheatham County Jail later that afternoon. | Lee Orders Flags Raised for Trump Inauguration Flags over Tennessee state buildings will fly at full-staff for Donald Trump's presidential inauguration, temporarily pausing their lowering in honor of former President Jimmy Carter. Gov. Bill Lee announced that flags over the State Capitol and all state buildings will be raised to full staff from noon on Jan. 20 to sunrise on Jan. 21 for Inauguration Day, after which they will return to half-staff until Jan. 29 in Carter's memory. U.S. Flag Code states that flags over federal buildings remain at half-staff for 30 days following the death of a president or former president. House Speaker Mike Johnson also ordered U.S. Capitol flags raised to full height for Inauguration Day. Lee is among several Republican governors to join in the change for the inauguration. | |
