No Time to Play: Tell Governor Lee "No for Newcomb"
Governor Bill Lee will soon appoint the next District Attorney General for Tennessee's Fourth Judicial District. Because the current vacancy occurred after the election filing deadline, the appointment will be made by the Governor rather than decided by voters at the ballot box.
One of the applicants seeking the appointment is Ron Newcomb, the longtime Chief Deputy District Attorney General under Jimmy Dunn.
The No For Newcomb campaign believes now is the time for Tennesseans to make their voices heard.
According to the Campaign, Playtime Is Over
The campaign argues that selecting a District Attorney General is one of the most important decisions affecting the criminal justice system.
Supporters contend that the office demands someone who is fair, impartial, transparent, and committed to upholding both the law and the Constitutional rights of every citizen.
According to the campaign, Ron Newcomb's record raises serious concerns about whether he meets those expectations.
The campaign points to allegations that include:
Fabricating evidence.
Withholding exculpatory information.
Coaching witnesses.
Manipulating the justice process to secure favorable outcomes.
The campaign believes these allegations demonstrate conduct inconsistent with the responsibilities of a District Attorney General.
The Next District Attorney General Should Inspire Public Trust
A District Attorney General serves one of the most important roles in the justice system. Every prosecution, every charging decision, and every interaction with victims and defendants depends upon public confidence in the integrity of that office.
According to the No For Newcomb campaign, Tennessee deserves a prosecutor who demonstrates:
Integrity
Honesty
Transparency
Fairness
Accountability
Respect for Constitutional rights
Sound judgment
Supporters argue these qualities are essential to restoring confidence in the justice system.
You May Not Get to Vote—But You Still Have a Voice
Because Jimmy Dunn announced his retirement after the election filing deadline, voters will not elect the next District Attorney General until 2028.
Instead, Governor Bill Lee will make the appointment.
The campaign encourages citizens to participate in the appointment process by contacting the Governor and sharing their views before a decision is announced.
