The DA in Sumner County is retiring!
After serving as the 18th Judicial District Attorney General for 45 years, I’m announcing my retirement, effective September 1, 2025. It’s the end of an incredible chapter—one dedicated to the pursuit of justice and the safety of Sumner County.
I’m honored to be recognized as Tennessee’s longest-serving district attorney general.
Throughout my career, I’ve had the privilege to prosecute thousands of violent offenders, stand up for victims’ rights, and work on innovative programs to address substance abuse and improve public safety.
As I step away from public service, I do so with deep gratitude. To the Assistant District Attorneys, support staff, advocates, and officers who have walked this road with me—thank you. Our shared commitment to justice has made a real difference in this state, and I am profoundly proud of all that we’ve accomplished together.
When I first stepped into this role, I never could have imagined the journey ahead—the challenges, the triumphs, the heartaches, and the hopes. I could not have made it this far for this long without the unwavering dedication of our law enforcement professionals, the courage of victims and their families, the support of this community, and the love of my family. It has truly been the honor of a lifetime to serve as your District Attorney General.
