Tennessee District Attorney General
Governance
There is a elected District Attorney General for each of the state's 31 judicial districts. Each District Attorney General serves a eight year term[1].
Campaign finance discipline
If a person feels that someone violated Tennessee campaign finance law, the first step is to file a complaint with the the Tennessee Registry of Election Finance. All complaints must be sworn complaints under Tennessee law[2]. The registry of election finance forwards all complaints to the Tennessee District Attorney General for investigation regardless if its civil or criminal law violations[3]. Any person who submits a false complaint or for the purpose of harassing someone must pay the affected candidate all usual and necessary attorneys fees[4].
