No For Newcomb: Why the Campaign Opposes Ron Newcomb's Appointment as District Attorney General
Governor Bill Lee is expected to appoint the next District Attorney General for Tennessee's Fourth Judicial District following Jimmy Dunn's announced retirement. The No For Newcomb Campaign encourages Tennesseans to review publicly available records and legal proceedings before that appointment is made.
According to the campaign, Ron Newcomb should not be selected to serve as the next District Attorney General because of concerns about his record, leadership, and public trust.
Concerns Raised by the Campaign
The No For Newcomb Campaign points to several matters involving Ron Newcomb that it believes voters should consider when evaluating his potential appointment.
According to the campaign, these include:
Allegations of prosecutorial misconduct.
Allegations involving actions taken during grand jury proceedings.
Civil litigation alleging malicious prosecution and other legal violations.
Being named in litigation that reached the Supreme Court of the United States in 2025.
The campaign believes these publicly available matters raise significant questions about Newcomb's suitability for one of Tennessee's most powerful public offices.
Questions About Grand Jury Practices
The campaign also points to litigation and judicial proceedings involving grand jury practices.
According to the campaign, these matters include allegations that citizens were required to waive constitutional rights before appearing before a grand jury, the use of documents the campaign characterizes as unlawful during grand jury proceedings, and courtroom disputes concerning those practices.
The campaign encourages citizens to review publicly available court records, legal filings, and judicial opinions to better understand the issues being raised.
Why This Appointment Matters
The Governor's appointment will determine who serves as District Attorney General for the Fourth Judicial District until voters have an opportunity to elect a District Attorney General in 2028.
The office serves residents of:
Cocke County
Grainger County
Jefferson County
Sevier County
The No For Newcomb Campaign believes East Tennessee deserves leadership that reflects integrity, accountability, transparency, and public confidence in the justice system.
