Democratic Party is asking that Rep. Daniel Grossberg (D-30) “refrain from participating” in upcoming party events and meetings due to his ongoing harassment investigation.
“Our Executive Committee is unwavering in its commitment to creating a safe and respectful environment for everyone,” The Louisville Democratic Party said in a statement posted to X Thursday. “Though we understand the claims against Representative Grossberg are allegations at this point in time, we are asking that he temporarily refrain from participating in LDP events and meetings while the Legislative Ethics Commission Investigation is in process.”

Grossberg, who represents District 30 in Central Louisville, has been under investigation by the Legislative Ethics Commission since July, when a flurry of allegations involving inappropriate text messages to women and improper business dealings came to light.
After the initial allegations, House Democratic Leadership suspended Grossberg from the House Democratic Caucus and leadership followed up by removing him from all of his interim committees as well.
Kentucky Young Democrats have also been critical of Grossberg. The group publicly requested his resignation on Aug. 1, saying that “several members of our organization have come to us with their own stories detailing Rep. Grossberg’s inappropriate behavior towards them.”
