Beautiful morning Thursday to join @GovBillLee & @TN_DCS Commissioner Quin to celebrate the great success of the Wendy's Wonderful Kids program through the @DTFA to find safe, loving, permanent families for the most vulnerable children in TN. We are grateful for their work!
Millions of kids in TN, the US, & around the world love reading today because of @DollyParton's commitment that every child should have access to books at home. A true Tennessee treasure & one of the greatest champions children's literacy has ever known. TN will always love you.
Wishing you and your family a joyous and safe Independence Day as we celebrate America's 250th birthday!

Thank you @GovBillLee for your leadership to organize this bipartisan group of Governors encouraging the President to take the necessary diplomatic action to bring these vulnerable kids home from China to their waiting families in Tennessee and across our country!
Today, I'm leading a bipartisan coalition of governors in calling on @POTUS to take diplomatic action to impress upon the Chinese government the need to honor pending adoptions. tn.gov/governor/news/2024/12…
