(FOX 56) — A long-time member of the Kentucky General Assembly said she’s switching political parties. State Senator Robin Webb of Grayson in Carter County is now a registered Republican.Webb has served in the legislature since 1999 and has been in the Senate since 2009 — all as a Democrat. But she told FOX 56 News on Friday that she’s been considering changing parties for the last couple of years. “I just want people to know where I stand. I know who I am — that’s not changing. I’m not changing my priorities. I’m not changing my advocacy positions. And my votes will remain the same on subject matter. I think everyone knows that,” Webb said. “We’ve got to think of the people of Kentucky. Sometimes we get into this, you know, ‘I’m on this team’ or ‘that team,’ and I understand that — that’s our system, and I respect that. But at the end of the day, we’ve got to do what’s right,” state Sen. Gerald Neal, a Democrat, said. This marks the largest-ever Republican supermajority in the Senate — 32 of the Senate’s 38 members are Republicans. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
