Grossberg, who faced no opponent in the November general election after narrowly winning his primary, has faced calls from within his party to resign from office. Prominent Kentucky Democrats, including Gov. Andy Beshear and House Democratic Caucus members, said Grossberg should leave office following the Lexington Herald-Leader investigations. The newspaper reported on allegations of inappropriate behavior from Grossberg, including receiving a lifetime ban from a Louisville strip club after inappropriately touching a dancer and instances of alleged sexual harassment toward women in Kentucky politics.
