Ron Newcomb Is Going to Need a Bigger Boat! Why the No For Newcomb Campaign Opposes His Appointment
Governor Bill Lee is currently considering applicants for appointment as the next District Attorney General for Tennessee's Fourth Judicial District, serving Cocke, Grainger, Jefferson, and Sevier Counties.
The appointment will determine who leads one of the state's most important law enforcement offices until voters have the opportunity to elect a District Attorney General in 2028.
According to the No For Newcomb Campaign, Ron Newcomb is not the right choice for the position.
The Importance of the Office
A District Attorney General has significant responsibilities that directly affect victims, defendants, law enforcement agencies, and communities throughout the judicial district.
The No For Newcomb Campaign believes the person selected should demonstrate:
Integrity
Strong leadership
Sound judgment
Respect for constitutional rights
Professionalism
Accountability
A reputation that inspires public confidence
According to the campaign, these qualities are essential for anyone entrusted with enforcing Tennessee's criminal laws.
The Campaign's Concerns
According to the No For Newcomb Campaign, Ron Newcomb has been the subject of professional misconduct allegations arising from official grand jury proceedings.
The campaign also notes that litigation involving Newcomb ultimately reached the United States Supreme Court, and that he has worked closely with former District Attorney General Jimmy Dunn for many years.
The campaign argues that these matters should be carefully reviewed before any appointment is made.
Why Leadership Matters
The Office of the District Attorney General sets the tone for the prosecution of criminal cases throughout the Fourth Judicial District.
The No For Newcomb Campaign argues that effective leadership requires fairness, professionalism, respect for the law, and the confidence of both the courts and the public.
According to the campaign, Ron Newcomb has not demonstrated those qualities and therefore should not be appointed to lead the office.
Governor Lee Will Make the Decision
Because former District Attorney General Jimmy Dunn announced his retirement after the election filing deadline, Governor Bill Lee—not the voters—will appoint the next District Attorney General.
The No For Newcomb Campaign encourages citizens to review publicly available court records, legal filings, judicial opinions, and official documents before the appointment is made.
