THE FRANKLIN COUNTY REPUBLICAN COMMITTEE ANNOUNCES INCUMBENT CANDIDATES SEEKING REELECTION

The Franklin County Republican Committee (FCRC) is pleased to announce that a slate of experienced
republican incumbent candidates are seeking reelection: Congressman John Joyce, State Representative Rob
Kauffman, State Representative Rich Irvin, and State Representative Chad Reichard.

Each of these leaders has demonstrated a consistent commitment to serving their constituents through effective
representation, accessibility, and results-driven leadership. During their time in office, they have worked to
address key issues impacting local families, businesses, and communities while advocating for responsible
governance and practical solutions.

“Congressman Joyce and Representatives Kauffman, Irvin, and Reichard have earned the trust of the people
they represent,” said FCRC Chairman Fred Young. “Their records reflect a deep understanding of the needs of
our region and a dedication to putting constituents first.”

The FCRC points to the incumbents’ experience and proven ability to navigate complex legislative challenges
as critical assets. From supporting economic growth and job creation to strengthening public safety and
protecting community values, these leaders have built a strong foundation for continued progress.

“As incumbents, they bring both the knowledge of how government works and the perspective of those they
serve,” added Chairman Young. “Reelecting them ensures continuity, stability, and a clear path forward.”
Voters are encouraged to engage in the electoral process, learn more about the candidates’ accomplishments,
and support leaders who have demonstrated effective and accountable service.
