Brian P. Kemp is a husband, father, businessman, and public servant. On November 6, 2018, he was elected as Georgia’s 83rd Governor, earning more votes than any gubernatorial candidate in state history.
Governor Kemp built his first business – Kemp Development and Construction Company – with a pick-up truck and a shovel. Over thirty years later, he is a successful entrepreneur with companies and investments in banking, farming, timber, manufacturing, and real estate.
Brian Kemp ran for Governor on a bold, conservative plan to spur economic growth, reform state government, strengthen rural communities, lower healthcare costs, and protect Georgia families from violence. Since his inauguration on January 14, 2019, he’s worked tirelessly to turn those campaign promises into reality and build a safer, stronger Georgia for all who call the Peach State home.
Governor Kemp will prioritize legislation to update Code section 16-15-4e to increase the penalty from 5 years minimum to 10 years minimum for recruitment of a minor into a criminal street gang, as defined by current state law.
The Kemp administration prioritized and funded in 2020 and 2021 the Georgia Criminal Street Gang Database to build on the strongest gang statute in the country.
