1 claim
One of the Senate's most committed deficit hawks: Blackburn was among the 31 Senate Republicans who voted against the Fiscal Responsibility Act of 2023, finding its debt-ceiling increase insufficiently paired with spending restraint. She introduced legislation requiring 1%, 2%, and 5% across-the-board cuts to discretionary accounts and her founding fiscal principle is direct — 'Washington doesn't have an income problem; it has a spending problem.' Her 2024 GovTrack report card ranked her the 2nd most politically conservative senator.

1 claim
Blackburn championed election-integrity measures throughout her Senate tenure and introduced the Election Security Partnership Act (2026) with Sen. Lindsey Graham to incentivize states to verify voter rolls against DHS's SAVE database, weeding out non-citizens. She declared 'I will not rest until we pass election integrity measures in any way possible' and noted Tennessee ranks #1 in election integrity because it cleaned up voter rolls and requires voter ID.

A tenacious advocate for physical border barriers: Blackburn published a 2024 op-ed titled 'Border Walls Work,' co-sponsored and publicly demanded Senate floor action on H.R. 2 (the Secure the Border Act of 2023, which funds border-wall construction and tightens asylum), introduced the CONTAINER Act authorizing moveable physical barriers on federal land along the southern border, and formally opposed the 2024 Senate bipartisan border deal as insufficiently enforcement-focused. In June 2026 she issued a statement welcoming Senate passage of the Secure America Act.

1 claim
Blackburn co-led the No WHO Pandemic Preparedness Treaty Without Senate Approval Act (2022-2023), co-introduced with Sen. Ron Johnson, requiring any WHO pandemic convention to be ratified as a treaty by two-thirds of the Senate. She stated the WHO 'failed miserably in their response to COVID-19' and that new treaty powers 'would increase the WHO's power at the expense of American sovereignty,' consistent with the rubric's opposition to WHO/UN expansions of authority.
