This is Representative Koch's third term in office as he got elected in 2019. Koch has a depth of knowledge and valuable experience that he brings to the General Assembly. He served 8 years as an intelligence officer in the Marine Corps, and he paid his way through college at the University of Kentucky working as a blacksmith shoeing horses. 

Representative Koch has served as Vice-Chair of this committee for the last four years and is well prepared to step into the role of Chairman.
