Max Morley, a Democrat seeking to unseat Daniel Grossberg as Kentucky State Representative in the 30th House District, was caught on a home security camera stealing a Grossberg campaign flyer from a voter's mail box. Morley admitted to "a lack of judgment. This isn't acceptable, and it's something I'm deeply sorry for. I apologize to the homeowner. I want one thing to remain clear: voters in HD 30 deserve better than their current representative, and I don't want them to be distracted from the ultimate goal of sending him home."

Louisville Democratic Party Vice Chair Rosalind Welch said "I was disturbed to witness the video of a candidate removing another candidate's information from a voter's mailbox. It's astounding to know that we have candidates running for office who ignore basic rules like don't touch voters' mailboxes or take their mail. However, we need to look past Mr. Morley's one mistake to see the importance of replacing a Republican enemy of democracy with a genuine Democrat. I urge voters confused about who to vote for to allow me to be your trusted source for changes and updates in this year's elections by visiting my website. We must challenge the status quo and elect candidates who are fighting for us all."

Grossberg pointed out that "both Morley and Welch admit that what Morley did was wrong. Stealing is wrong. Slandering opponents as enemies of democracy is wrong. These Democrats feign concern for decency, but they don't practice it. They aren't fighting for us all. They are breaking the rules to in order to win elections. They are not to be trusted with the power that being elected to office would grant them."
