Former Lexington councilwoman makes bid to be chair of Republican National Committee

Lexington-based KC Crosbie has announced her bid to become chairwoman of the Republican National Committee just days after the GOP lost control of the U.S. House and Senate, a historic win for Democrats. Crosbie was first elected co-chair of the RNC in January 2025, shortly after President Donald Trump took office. Crosbie has been a long-time supporter of Trump, according to Crosbie’s biographical information on the RNC’s website. Crosbie currently serves as co-chair with Joe Gruters. In a letter posted across social media, Crosbie said the party must analyze what went wrong and why. “We owe ourselves an honest account of why,” Crosbie wrote in the Nov. 5 letter to party members. “Voters were focused on the cost of living and the direction of our country.” Crosbie also said the RNC needs to tap the expertise of state party leaders on reforms and changes. “RNC members should have a meaningful voice in the decisions that shape our party,” Crosbie said. “We were elected by Republicans in our states to help lead the Party and shape its most important decisions. I believe the RNC has fallen short of that responsibility and I hope to see that change.” That’s why Crosbie said

Judge dismisses obscene material charge against Fayette County football coach

Fayette District Judge Denotra S. Gunther on Thursday dismissed a charge of distributing obscene matter to a minor against Henry Clay football coach Phillip Hawkins, according to a court document posted Friday. The Fayette County Attorney’s office on Thursday filed a motion to dismiss the charge and on Friday afternoon, Gunther’s order was included in online court files. Her order noted Hawkins denied the allegation and that “prosecutors could not prove facts necessary to support a conviction.” Hawkins was accused in court records of showing images of a nude woman to some of his players, who were minors. The motion filed in Fayette District Court says prosecutors are not trying to claim that Hawkins didn’t show the photographs. However, prosecutors say the photographs would not rise to “obscene material,” so they can’t support the criminal charge. According to an August citation in online court records, “multiple juvenile victims” said that on April 20, Hawkins, knowing they were minors, showed them photos of a nude woman. The location of the violation is listed as 2100 Fontaine Road, the address of Henry Clay High School. Reached via text in August by the Herald-Leader, Hawkins defended himself against the allegation. “It’s a ridiculous
