Kelsey Ketron, daughter of Rutherford County Mayor Bill Ketron, resigned from the Tennessee Republican Party’s Executive Committee.

Ketron, who faces a criminal investigation related to insurance fraud, released a statement that it had been an honor to serve District 12 for the past five years.

Ketron’s seat on the state executive committee will remain vacant until the party can appoint a committee to find a replacement to serve the remainder of the four-year term.

Once the committee recommends a name to replace Ketron, it must be voted on by the full executive committee.
