Howard Roberts, founding dean and professor emeritus of the business college at the University of Pikeville, was elected chair of the Kentucky Judicial Campaign Conduct Committee at the committee's annual meeting Feb. 24.
Roberts had been vice chair of the committee. Elected to succeed him in that position was Kathy Walker of Prestonsburg. Charles Boteler of Louisville and Al Cross of Frankfort were re-elected treasurer and secretary, respectively.
The committee lauded outgoing chair Anthony Wilhoit for his service, which began as founding chair in 2005. It also noted the recent death of another founding member, William Fortune, law professor at the University of Kentucky, and his contributions to the committee, the legal profession and the public.
Meeting via Zoom, the committee reviewed the current judicial races and agreed to send its usual letters to the candidates asking them to sign a pledge regarding campaign conduct.
