NASHVILLE (April 10) — Today, Tennessee Governor Bill Lee appointed Carma Dennis McGee to the Tennessee Court of Appeals, Western Section. She will replace Judge Brandon O. Gibson who was appointed as a senior advisor in the Office of Governor earlier this year.
McGee, 48, has served as the chancellor of the 24th Judicial District since 2014. Prior to becoming chancellor, she practiced law as partner in the firm of McGee and Dennis. She also served as a Rule 31 listed family mediator for ten years. As chancellor, McGee served Carroll, Henry, Benton, Decatur, and Hardin counties. She first won election running as a Republican.
Governor Lee will appoint a replacement chancellor for the district. The position will be open for election in 2020 to fill the remaining two years of the McGee’s unexpired term. The position will again be on the ballot in 2022 for the full eight-year term.
“Chancellor McGee’s experience and knowledge will make her an excellent judge on the Court of Appeals,” said Lee. “Tennessee is fortunate to have her in the Western Section, and I am grateful she has accepted this high honor.”
