Career

Education and early career

In 1992, Crosbie received a degree in communications from the University of Kentucky and has served on the boards of the American Heart Association, University of Kentucky Alumni Association and State of Kentucky Board of Claims. After graduating, she worked for a Fortune 50 company specializing in healthcare for 18 years.[2][1]

Political career

Crosbie is the national committeewoman of the Republican Party of Kentucky. She was previously elected to serve on the Lexington Fayette Urban County Council in 2006. She served three consecutive terms, representing the 7th District.[1]

Republican Party of Kentucky

After her campaign for Kentucky state treasurer in 2011, Crosbie began her service as the finance chairwoman of the Republican Party of Kentucky. She held this position until March 2014, at which time she resigned to begin her campaign for lieutenant governor of Kentucky. Crosbie stated at the time,[3]

“

I have appreciated the opportunity to serve the RPK over the past two years. Given my recent decision to run on the ticket with Hal Heiner as his lieutenant governor and my current responsibilities as RNC National Committee Woman, I believe that it is the right time for me and our party to pass along these duties to someone as qualified and committed as Representative Osborne.[4]

”

In 2012, Crosbie was elected to be the national chairwoman of the Republican Party of Kentucky. She was re-elected to a four-year term in 2016. As of the 2016 Republican National Convention, she was part of the Republican National Committee's Rules Committee.[1][5]

Campaigns

Crosbie was a Republican candidate for lieutenant governor of Kentucky in the 2015 elections. On March 4, 2014, Hal Heiner and Crosbie formally announced their campaign for the open governor's seat in the 2015 elections. The duo filed their candidacies on January 26, 2015.[6] Heiner hoped to succeed Democratic incumbent Gov. Steve Beshear, who was barred by term limits from seeking re-election in 2015.[7] However, Crosbie and Heiner were defeated in the primary.[8]

Crosbie ran in 2011 as a Republican candidate for Kentucky state treasurer, but was not elected.[1]

Delegate rules

See also: RNC delegate guidelines from Kentucky, 2016 and Republican delegates from Kentucky, 2016

Delegates from Kentucky to the Republican National Convention were selected by nomination committees and approved at the county and state conventions. Kentucky GOP rules required national convention delegates to have supported the 2012 Republican presidential nominee. Kentucky GOP rules and Kentucky state law required delegates from Kentucky to vote for the candidate to whom they were allocated through the first round of voting at the national convention. If a candidate died or withdrew prior to the first round of voting at the national convention, the chairman of the Kentucky delegation was to call a meeting at which the delegates were to vote on the remaining candidates and be reallocated on the basis of the results.

District delegates were allocated proportionally; a candidate had to win at least 5 percent of the statewide caucus vote in order to be eligible to receive any district delegates.[15][16]

Of the remaining 28 delegates, 25 served at large. At-large delegates were allocated proportionally; a candidate had to win at least 5 percent of the statewide caucus vote in order to be eligible to receive any of the state's at-large delegates. In addition, three national party leaders (identified on the chart below as RNC delegates) served as bound delegates to the Republican National Convention. The RNC delegates were allocated in the same manner as the at-large delegates.[15][16][17]
