Tell Speaker Ralston to Censure Trey Kelley

On September 11, 2019, an innocent man was hit and killed by a car. The driver's first call wasn't to 911--it was to Georgia State Representative Trey Kelley, who helped to sweep the matter under the rug. While the man was dying in agony in a ditch, Kelley and the driver stood together just down the road. Neither of them called 911. Neither of them tried to help the man.

Republicans and Democrats alike have condemned Rep. Kelley. Tea Party activist Amy Kremer said that Kelley "should be arrested and charged in the death of this man." Georgia State Representative Shelly Hutchinson called Kelley's actions "unacceptable, harmful to our state, and beneath his office." State Rep. Renitta Shannon, State Sen. Jen Jordan, and more have called for his resignation.

Kelley’s continued presence in the Georgia State House is a disgrace to the institution. While both sides of the aisle have condemned Kelley, there has been deafening silence from the House Leadership. Speaker Ralston has made no meaningful effort to condemn or punish Kelley for his corrupt actions.

Rep. Trey Kelley has undermined his office, the public's trust, and the entirety of the Georgia House of Representatives. The General Assembly cannot be taken seriously when it allows someone like Kelley to continue to be a member. If Speaker Ralston respects Georgia and the dignity of the General Assembly, he will immediately censure Kelley and Kelley will resign.
