Ron Newcomb Chokes? Why the No For Newcomb Campaign Says Tennessee Deserves Better
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, voters will not choose the next chief prosecutor at the ballot box. Instead, the decision will be made by the Governor.
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 Governor Lee should appoint someone else.
What the Campaign Says Tennessee Needs
The position of District Attorney General carries enormous responsibility. Prosecutors are entrusted with enforcing the law fairly, protecting the rights of victims and defendants, and maintaining public confidence in the criminal justice system.
According to the No For Newcomb campaign, the next District Attorney General should be a person of:
Integrity
Honor
Accountability
Transparency
Professional leadership
Respect for Constitutional rights
Public trust
Supporters argue these qualities are essential for anyone serving as the chief prosecutor for the Fourth Judicial District.
Why the Campaign Opposes Ron Newcomb
According to the campaign, Ron Newcomb's public record raises serious concerns about his suitability for the office.
The campaign points to publicly available information that includes:
Criminal complaints submitted regarding his conduct.
State investigations concerning alleged professional misconduct.
Litigation involving allegations that reached the Supreme Court of the United States.
Allegations involving conduct during official grand jury proceedings.
Supporters contend that these matters have created controversy surrounding Newcomb's record and argue that Tennessee deserves a District Attorney General whose reputation strengthens public confidence rather than undermines it.
A Critical Appointment
Because the next District Attorney General will be appointed rather than elected, citizens have a limited opportunity to share their opinions before the Governor makes his decision.
The campaign encourages Tennesseans to review publicly available information, consider the qualifications of each applicant, and participate in the appointment process.
