Governor Bill Lee will soon appoint the next District Attorney General for Tennessee's Fourth Judicial District following the announced retirement of Jimmy Dunn. Because Dunn's retirement comes after the deadline to place candidates on the upcoming election ballot, Tennessee voters will not have the opportunity to elect a new District Attorney General until 2028.
One individual discussed as a potential appointee is Ron Newcomb, Jimmy Dunn's longtime Chief Deputy District Attorney General.
Ron Newcomb's Role
Ron Newcomb has served as Jimmy Dunn's Chief Deputy District Attorney General for many years. According to the No For Newcomb Campaign, Newcomb has played a significant leadership role in the operations of the Fourth Judicial District Attorney's Office during that time.
The campaign raises concerns regarding grand jury practices, constitutional rights, and the administration of justice within the district. It encourages Tennesseans to review publicly available court records, legal filings, and official documents surrounding these issues.
Why This Appointment Matters
The Governor's appointment will determine who serves as District Attorney General until the next election in 2028.
This decision will affect residents throughout Tennessee's Fourth Judicial District, including:
Sevier County
Cocke County
Jefferson County
Grainger County
The campaign believes this appointment deserves careful public attention and encourages citizens to review the available information before the appointment is made.
