Elkins Admits Fault After Ethics Complaint

A Republican candidate for Kentucky's House of Representatives says he takes full responsibility for using government resources for his campaign.
 
Larry Elkins is running in House District 5. His campaign website lists contact information for the Calloway County Fiscal Court, where he currently is serving as the County Judge-Executive for Calloway County. 

The Kentucky Democratic Party said that means public employees were answering phones for his campaign during business hours. They have filed complaints with the Calloway County Ethics Commission and the Kentucky Registry of Election Finance.
 
In an interview, Elkins said the complaint was "legitimate" and he has corrected his campaign website. He said he should have been watching his campaign website more closely. He said he will accept whatever consequences are necessary.
