Timeline

1978

Alison Case Lundergan Grimes (born November 23, 1978) is an American lawyer and Democratic politician who was the secretary of state of Kentucky from 2012 until 2020.

2001

Grimes went to Lexington Catholic High School in Lexington, Kentucky, and then went on to graduate from Rhodes College in 2001.

Grimes majored in political science, with a minor in history.

Grimes is a member of the Chi Omega sorority and served as president of her college chapter; she also served as a student trustee and a member of student government.

Grimes received her Juris Doctor degree cum laude from the Washington College of Law at American University in Washington, D.C. While at American, Grimes participated in public policy research for the National Kidney Foundation.

Prior to running for Secretary of State, Grimes was a practicing attorney in Lexington.

2004

She served as an associate at Stoll Keenon Ogden from 2004 to 2011, specializing in intellectual property and complex business litigation.

2008

Grimes has served numerous times as delegate to the Democratic National Convention, supporting candidate Hillary Clinton in 2008, Barack Obama in 2012, and party nominee Hillary Clinton in 2016.

2010

Grimes served as president of the Fayette County Women Lawyers' Association, and was awarded the 2010 Outstanding Young Lawyer Award by the Fayette County Bar Association.

In 2010, Grimes announced her candidacy for the office of Secretary of State of Kentucky, left open by term limited incumbent Republican Trey Grayson.

When Grayson resigned to accept a position at the Harvard Institute of Politics, Governor Steve Beshear appointed Bowling Green mayor Elaine Walker over Grimes to fill the rest of Grayson's term in office.

Despite this, Grimes stayed in the race and defeated Walker by a double-digit margin in the May primary.

Grimes faced Republican businessman and former Senate candidate Bill Johnson in the general election.

A main aspect of the campaign was Grimes's opposition to Johnson's proposal to require photo IDs in order to vote.

Grimes argued this would take away voting rights from the homeless among others.

She said her goals when elected included "updating business and election laws, increasing voting access for veterans and protecting the identity of domestic-violence victims in registration records."

She became well known through commercials that showed her elderly grandmothers.

Grimes defeated Johnson with over 60% of the vote.

2011

Grimes was elected in 2011 after defeating incumbent Elaine Walker in the Democratic primary and Republican candidate Bill Johnson in the general election.

She received a higher percentage of the vote than any other Kentucky statewide Democratic candidate during the 2011 elections.

2012

Her term as Secretary of State began on January 2, 2012.

In 2012, Grimes visited the Middle East to observe the voting process of overseas military personnel.

This experience led her to become an advocate of an improved voting process for the U.S. military.

2013

Grimes's recommendations received bipartisan support in the Kentucky General Assembly and were signed into law in April 2013.

The Kentucky Military Heroes Voting Initiative law allows military members and other covered voters to register to vote and update their registration online, ensures that military voters have sufficient time to vote in special elections, and extends existing protections to state and local elections and National Guard members.

She currently serves on the board of advisors of Let America Vote, an organization founded by former Missouri secretary of state Jason Kander designed to combat voter suppression.

On March 14, 2016, Grimes launched the online voter registration system GoVoteKY.com.
