Felicia Rabourn (born December 22,1990) is an American politician and Republican member of the Kentucky House of Representatives from Kentucky's 47th House district since January 2021. Her district includes Carroll,Henry,Owen,and Trimble counties. [1]
Felicia Rabourn was born on December 22,1990,in Henry County,Kentucky,and graduated from Henry County High School. [2] She is currently employed as a branch officer administrator for Edward Jones Investments,and serves as the youth chair for the Henry County Republican Party. [3]
On March 30,2023,the last day of the 2023 Kentucky General Assembly,Rabourn as well as Josh Calloway,Steven Doan,Mark Hart,and Nancy Tate were removed from multiple committee assignments by the House Committee on Committees. Rabourn accused house majority leadership of "retaliating" against her and other members due to her appeal of a ruling made by House Speaker David Osborne regarding a floor amendment made by Calloway. [4]
Among those that spoke out against this decision were U.S. Representative Thomas Massie and fellow Kentucky House member Savannah Maddox. [4]
During the 2023 Kentucky Legislative Interim,Rabourn along with eight other Kentucky House members sent a letter to House majority leadership requesting a number of changes be made to the House rules when they returned in January including the slowing down of last-minute bills and removing the ability of house leadership to strip members of committee assignments. [5]
On January 2,the first day of the 2024 Kentucky General Assembly,Rabourn filed fifteen resolutions to make various amendments to the House rules. Most of these resolutions were aimed at decentralizing the authority of house leadership such as allowing committee members to internally elect their own chairs. None of these resolutions made it to the floor for a vote,and the motion to table the resolutions for further amending was supported by all House democrats as well as five republican members,including Rabourn. [5]
On January 8,Rabourn and other members who were stripped of their committee assignments during the 2023 Kentucky General Assembly had their assignments either restored or were granted new assignments. Rabourn stated that,"I think that it shows leadership’s commitment of moving Kentucky in the right direction." [6] Rabourn also noted that talks about future rule amendments would likely continue into the 2024 Legislative Interim,and be brought up again when the 2025 Kentucky General Assembly meets in January.
