Kemp calls for indicted insurance commissioner to resign [View all]
ATLANTA | Gov. Brian Kemp recently called for the resignation of Georgia’s insurance commissioner after he was indicted on federal charges of wire fraud, mail fraud and money laundering that stem from alleged crimes that preceded his election.
Kemp, in a letter to fellow Republican Jim Beck, asked him to resign his post as the state’s Insurance and Safety Fire Commissioner.
“Your indictment severely undermines your ability to fulfill your official obligations to the people of Georgia,” Kemp wrote. “I ask that you do what is right for our state and step down immediately.”
Beck’s attorney, William “Bill” Thomas, declined to comment on Kemp’s letter. Thomas has said previously his client is innocent and that he intends to remain in office as he fights the charges.
