Senator Buck Newton

Represents Greene, Wayne, Wilson Counties

A native of Wilson, Newton graduated from Hunt High School before attending Appalachian State University where he received his bachelor’s degree in Political Science. Since graduating from Campbell University School of Law, Newton has practiced law at his firm, Newton and Lee, for more than 20 years.

He has served in the State Senate from 2011 to 2016. In 2010, Buck was in a group of conservative Republicans who flipped the NC Senate red for the first time in 140 years. In 2016, Buck was the Republican nominee for Attorney General. In the State Senate, Buck chaired the Judiciary Committee and worked to strengthen North Carolina’s criminal justice system and business climate. Buck’s background in the law makes him the best candidate to fight back against the Biden administration, Roy Cooper, and the activist State Supreme Court.
