McDow says abuse allegations 'not true'

In the Republican primary for the District 20 state Senate seat, Dr. Ron McDow is running a race believed to be competitive against Sen. Steve Dickerson. Like Dickerson, McDow is a medical doctor, but he also founded a successful, multimillion-dollar company specializing in cryotherapy technology. McDow is a Republican National Convention delegate for Donald Trump and a member of the Tennessee Republican Party’s Statewide Executive Committee since 2014.

And according to a series of court filings in the early 1990s and the mid-2000s, McDow was allegedly an abusive husband.
