You Be the Judge: Should Ron Newcomb Be Tennessee's Next District Attorney General?
Governor Lee's Appointment Will Shape the Future of East Tennessee
Governor Bill Lee is currently reviewing applicants to appoint the next District Attorney General for Tennessee's Fourth Judicial District, serving Cocke, Grainger, Jefferson, and Sevier Counties.
This appointment will place one individual in charge of prosecuting crimes, working with law enforcement, and representing the interests of the people throughout the district.
One of the applicants is Ron Newcomb, longtime Chief Deputy District Attorney General under Jimmy Dunn.
The No For Newcomb campaign believes this decision deserves careful public attention and encourages citizens to examine the available information before the appointment is made.
You Be the Judge
According to the campaign, Ron Newcomb's record raises significant concerns that should be considered by both Governor Lee and the citizens of the Fourth Judicial District.
The campaign points to allegations and publicly documented proceedings involving Ron Newcomb, including:
Allegations that he committed crimes during official grand jury proceedings.
Allegations that citizens were pressured to agree not to sue prosecutors or law enforcement for malicious prosecution and wrongful arrest in exchange for having criminal charges dismissed.
An investigation by the Tennessee Board of Professional Responsibility regarding alleged violations of the Tennessee Supreme Court's Rules of Professional Conduct.
The campaign believes these matters deserve public review before any appointment is made. You be the judge!
Why Integrity Matters
The District Attorney General is entrusted with significant authority.
The office requires someone who will:
Uphold the Constitution.
Protect the rights of every citizen.
Exercise sound judgment.
Maintain public confidence.
Apply the law fairly and impartially.
The No For Newcomb campaign believes integrity and accountability should be among the most important qualifications considered when selecting Tennessee's next chief prosecutor.
An Appointment That Will Affect Four Counties
Unlike an elected office, the current vacancy will be filled by appointment.
Governor Bill Lee will choose who serves as District Attorney General for the Fourth Judicial District until voters have the opportunity to elect a district attorney in the future.
Because this decision is being made now, the campaign encourages citizens to participate in the process by sharing their opinions directly with the Governor's Office.
