A letter from the Democrat House Majority Whip Rob Wilkey… Taking leadership to task.

H/T to a loyal SNS reader and the KyKurmudgeon:

I hope our members think long and hard about re-electing some members of this leadership group. I will not be running. My decision not to seek re-election has been made for some time, although I havent announced it. In fact, it was pretty much made before we started. I will not be back in Frankfort at all next year.

Leadership should be about selfless service to the members and our state. It is about building consensus, and working to develop policies and strategies that take into consideration the needs and opinions of the most members of our Caucus. It should not be about re-election to Leadership. I have always believed if I do a good job and serve the members well, they will re-elect me. If not, they will elect someone else. It should not be about perpetuating my position, or stroking my ego.
