Today, another Democratic leader says it will be her last state House Democrat Caucus Whip Rachel Roberts of Newport says she will not seek reelection next year.
She has served House District 67 since 2020.
Roberts says her decision comes after months of deliberation and that it is the right one for her and her family.
In a statement, Roberts says, quote, I have done all I can to create positive and lasting change for northern Kentucky and the entire commonwealth.
She went on to say that she will continue to live a life of public service.
Her announcement comes on the heels of House Democratic caucus leaders at Derek Graham's decision to also not seek reelection.
Last year, he became the first black lawmaker to lead a legislative caucus in the Kentucky House.
