Timeline
Ruth Ann Palumbo (born July 7, 1949) is the longest-serving woman in the Kentucky House of Representatives and has represented District 76, which covers downtown Lexington, Kentucky and eastern Fayette County, since 1991.
Palumbo is a member of the Kentucky Democratic Party.
Through her career, Palumbo has pushed for legislation concerning "more thorough investigations of child sexual abuse; Kentucky's compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act [...]; and sponsorship of bills to protect the elderly in nursing homes," as well as bills to do with women's health, mammogram access, and healthcare in general.
She attended Bryan Station High School before earning a Bachelor of Arts in Education from the University of Kentucky in 1972, and served as the President of the Fayette County Young Democrats from 1973 to 1974 and as the Treasurer of the Kentucky Young Democrats the same year.
She once received a fellowship from the University of Kentucky, and she was President of the Lexington Philharmonic Women's Guild as well as being a board member of the Interdisciplinary Human Development Institute at the University of Kentucky.

In 1988, she participated in Leadership Lexington.
Palumbo was first elected to the house in 1990, defeating Republican incumbent Tony Curtsinger for reelection.
She is not seeking reelection in 2024.
In 1998, Palumbo helped pass the Women's Health Act of 1998, which brought reconstructive mastectomies after breast cancer under coverage of medical insurance, as it previously had been considered cosmetic.
One early victory involved "building statewide opposition to a bill that, before their organized effort, likely would have gone unnoticed and passed easily, [...] removing the requirement that educational institutions offer women's softball as well as men's baseball, violating the spirit if not the letter of Title IX."
During the 2009, 2013, and 2015 legislative sessions, Palumbo chaired the Economic Development Committee.
Palumbo has formerly chaired the House's Economic Development and Workforce Investment Committee and co-chaired the Task Force on Economic Development.

Her son, James "Jamie" Palumbo has filed intent to run for her district in the 2024 election.
During her youth, Palumbo thought about becoming a missionary but now considers her political work her mission.
In 2011, Palumbo became the longest-serving female member of the body.
