Caldwell graduated from Lord Botetourt High School and earned a degree from the Virginia Military Institute. His professional experience includes serving as Roanoke City's Commonwealth’s Attorney since 1979. He served in the United States Army Reserve from 1973 to 2004.
Excerpt: "That’s why Caldwell has proposed a creative solution to bring the Mountain Valley Pipeline through our region – while at the same time protecting the environment and our citizens’ individual property rights. Under Caldwell’s plan, the pipeline would be built along existing highway easements. It would never cross a backyard. That way, we can improve our roads and highways, respect individual property rights, and bring much-needed energy jobs back to our region."
Incumbent John S. Edwards was unopposed in the Democratic primary. Nancy Dye was unopposed in the Republican primary. Donald Caldwell (Independent) ran as a third party candidate. Edwards defeated Dye and Caldwell in the general election.

Caldwell said he wants to continue to serve the community, that he continues to enjoy the work, and because he wants to complete unfinished projects, including remodeling the former law library in Roanoke’s courthouse into new, ground-floor office spaces for his attorneys, as well as two special prosecutions he’s handling — a voter petitions fraud case in Virginia Beach, and a police shooting in Bristol.
First appointed to the position in Roanoke in 1979, Caldwell won 10 consecutive four-year terms, nine of them as an unopposed Democratic candidate. He split from that party in 2015, to launch a Virginia Senate run as an independent, against Democrat John Edwards, but was unsuccessful.
With his fifth and sixth answers, Caldwell drilled down on that tack by specifically calling out his opponent, Hill, for a documented history of unpaid federal taxes from 10 individual years between 2017 and 2006, and a similar debt dating back to 1995. Caldwell raised Hill’s financial issues during the last campaign, and in interviews at that time, Hill said he was on a payment plan to square the debt. But in early 2020, Hill declared bankruptcy and, through that process, was released from about $186,000 in obligations to the Internal Revenue Service.
This week, we sit down with Commonwealth's Attorney Donald Caldwell, who is running as an independent against Democratic nominee Melvin Hill. The Roanoke Times has written:
The no-cash bail, that’s an illusion. That is a publicity stunt packaging among progressive prosecutors. It sounds good, but I've looked at how they do it in Northern Virginia. Earlier this summer we had a presentation on no-cash bail. And it really should be no-cash bail unless one’s needed, which is what we've always done. Most people do not put up cash anyway. They have a bondsman come up so it's not really cash in that sense. Now, they do have to pay a bondsman some cash, because bondsmen don't take credit, just like drug dealers. I'm not a fan of the progressive, so-called cash bail move.
Caldwell will turn 69 in November, and says he definitely plans to serve the remaining two years of his current term. We'll have to wait and see if there's another election in Don Caldwell's future.
Caldwell was sworn as the city's top prosecutor 40 years ago this week, and he took office October 1, 1979.
But Hill thanked his team and congratulated Caldwell on the win.
He will hold this position for another four years, which will eventually total four decades serving as the city's top prosecutor.
Caldwell beat his opponent Democrat Melvin Hill with 54 percent of the vote. We met Hill downtown Tuesday night, who said he was proud of his campaign but obviously disappointed at the final results.
