Scotty Campbell
A Northeast Tennessee lawmaker has resigned after a bipartisan state subcommittee found he violated the General Assembly’s policy on workplace discrimination and harassment.
A memorandum from the House Workplace Discrimination and Harassment Subcommittee found that Representative Scotty Campbell (R-Mountain City) violated the policy. The memorandum, dated March 29, states the subcommittee met after receiving a complaint against Campbell.
Speaker Sexton said he had received a resignation letter from Campbell, which was accepted.
Campbell represents Johnson County along with parts of Carter, Hawkins and Sullivan Counties.
“Based upon the completed staff investigation, the Ethics Subcommittee finds that Representative Campbell violated the Policy,” the memorandum states.
The memorandum, which was sent to Sexton, contained no further details related to the complaint or the complainant. It also states that “discrimination and harassment in any form will not be tolerated.”
The General Assembly’s Policy on Workplace Discrimination and Harassment states that any member who engages in discrimination, harassment or retaliation of any kind “is subject to corrective action.” Examples of prohibited conduct listed in the policy included the creation of a hostile work environment, sexual harassment and retaliation.
