Video Shows Kentucky State House Candidate Take Campaign Flyer From Someone's Mailbox
Morley said he showed poor judgment after security video captured him taking an opponent’s mailer from a voter’s mailbox.
- On Wednesday, Democratic state representative candidate Max Morley withdrew from the District 30 race after admitting he took a campaign flyer from a constituent's mailbox.
- Morley sought to unseat Representative Daniel Grossberg, who faces an 18-month ethics investigation and allegations of sexual misconduct from nine different women over the past two years.
- Home security footage captured Morley taking a mailer featuring Grossberg's name while canvassing in Newburg. Tampering with mail is a federal crime, though potential charges remain unclear.
- Morley apologized, saying "While campaigning, I exhibited a lack of judgment. This isn't acceptable," and urged voters to focus on defeating Grossberg in the primary.
- Cassie Lyles and Mitra Subedi remain as Democratic challengers to replace Grossberg for the Kentucky House seat ahead of the primary election on May 19.
