On Saturday, the Kentucky Democratic Party Executive Committee voted to place Representative Sannie Overly to the position. Overly’s chief duty in this position will be to maintain control of the House of Representatives. Currently Kentucky’s house is the last one in the south controlled by the Democrats, who maintain a 4 vote majority. Overly has her work cut out for her, since a March 8^th special election could fill four empty seats with Republicans. Overly is the first woman to fill this position.
