U.S. Sen. Marsha Blackburn has abruptly decided to run for governor in 2026, automatically becoming the frontrunner in the Republican primary. Scott talks about her intent — she has yet to make a formal announcement — and its ramifications in this week's installment of the Compass Points podcast. He also goes into detail on current Gov. Bill Lee's special legislative session on vouchers, Knoxville City Council's Procedures and Charter Task Force, and last week's leadership symposium on Rev. Martin Luther King's relevance in today's world. Plus, Scott touches on recent police-involved shootings, a mobility study for Choto and other topics. He also previews this week's Knoxville City Council and Knox County Commission meetings.
