A Kentucky House candidate has dropped out of his race after being caught removing a campaign flyer from a potential voter’s mailbox. Democrat Max Morley announced he would end his campaign for the Kentucky House District 30 seat. “District 30 deserves a Representative they can trust and believe in. After much reflection, I have decided to end my campaign for State Representative. Campaigns can be demanding and deeply personal, and along the way I lost sight of what mattered most: serving our community with the focus, judgment, and integrity it deserves. For that, I sincerely apologize to those I disappointed or let down,” Morley wrote on Facebook. “I am grateful to everyone who supported this campaign, volunteered their time, offered encouragement, and believed in me throughout this process. I am especially thankful for my family, and I am taking this time to focus on them and move forward privately. There are two strong candidates remaining in this race: Cassie Lyles and Mitra Subedi. Both care deeply about our community and its future. I will be casting my vote for Cassie Lyles, and I encourage voters to support the candidate they believe is best prepared to defeat Daniel Grossberg,” he continued. “Max Morley, a Democratic candidate for Kentucky House in Louisville, is seen on a home security camera taking a political advertisement out of a homeowner’s mailbox & putting it into his back pocket. Morley confirmed it was him, apologized & has dropped out of his primary race,” Spectrum News 1 Kentucky anchor Mario Anderson said.

Daniel Grossberg are all still in the race. A report from our partner, the Kentucky Lantern, states that Grossberg is facing renewed calls from within the Democratic Party to resign following recent allegations of sexual assault detailed in a newspaper report. The primary election will be held on Tuesday, May 19. “Stealing mail is a felony, but it’s unclear whether Morley will face any charges,” WLKY noted. Watch additional coverage below:
