North Carolina State Auditor Beth Wood says she will resign from her elected post on Dec. 15
North Carolina State Auditor Beth Wood announced on Thursday that she will resign from her elected post next month, a decision coming two days after she was indicted on charges that she misused her state-owned vehicle for personal activities. Wood, a Democrat who was first elected auditor in 2008, had already announced last week that she wouldn't seek reelection in 2024. That came before a Wake County grand jury formally accused her of a pair of misdemeanors.
Wood informed Cooper of her resignation decision on Thursday afternoon, the governor’s office said. Cooper “respects her decision and thanked her for her years of service to North Carolina,” spokesperson Jordan Monaghan said in a text message. “Our office will have more information about the appointment process for this position in the coming days.
