Rep. John Ragan (R-Oak Ridge) has filed an ethics complaint against House Minority Caucus Leader Mike Stewart, a Nashville Democrat.

The complaint alleges Stewart used questioning of the Tennessee Emergency Management Agency during a House Government Operations Committee meeting to benefit his law firm, Branstetter Stranch & Jennings, which has a pending lawsuit related to the fires that swept through Gatlinburg last year.
