An employee with the Legislative Research Commission has been fired after appearing in an online video in support of a Democratic Senatorial candidate.
The Courier-Journal reports that Charles Booker, 29, lost his job yesterday as an analyst for the Government Contract Review Committee. Booker appeared in a video for Alison Lundergun Grimes, who is running for the U.S. Senate seat held by Republican Mitch McConnell.
In the video, Booker’s wife accuses McConnell of being out of touch with poor Kentuckians. Booker appears briefly in the video and makes a few comments about western Louisville.
LRC personnel policy prohibits employees from taking part in partisan political activity.
