Judge Blocks KY State Senator From Serving Because of Residency Rules

[Crackingham]

A Republican state senator may not take any official action or get paid because she was not a qualified resident of Kentucky before the election, a judge ruled Friday.

Franklin County Circuit Judge William Graham's temporary injunction all but removed Dana Seum Stephenson from office, prohibiting her from "sitting as a state senator, from performing any official duties of the office as state senator, from receiving or accepting any pay for the office of state senator and from participating in the affairs of the General Assembly."

Senate President David Williams, a Republican, said he expects to appeal Friday's ruling and seek an immediate review by the Supreme Court.

Stephenson said she planned to appeal and "continue to fight to make sure the will of the voters in my district prevails."
