Demorest City Councilman Nathan Davis submitted his letter of resignation from the city council on Wednesday, ending his nearly three years in office.
“It is with regret that I am writing to inform you of my decision to resign my position on the Demorest City Council,” Davis writes. His resignation letter says he leaves the council due to no longer qualifying as a Demorest resident.
Davis was elected to the council in 2019, and was involved in several controversies during his time in office, including the firing of Demorest Police Chief Robin Krockum, a confession to unauthorized meetings and two attempted recalls alongside sitting councilman John Hendrix.
Davis was recently named mayor pro-tem for the city council.
“It has been a pleasure serving as part of the Demorest City Council,” Davis said. “I thank the citizens of the City of Demorest For all their support. I am so proud of all we have accomplished and have no doubt the council will continue these successes in the future.”
