Richard Couch
​
I have lived in Kentucky all of my life, and my family were coal miners. I have seen the devastation that the coal mining industry can do to a person’s body. I am dedicated to helping those individuals get the benefits they worked so hard for and that they deserve. I prosecuted for ten years and I am proven to work for justice. I also served my county in Operation Iraqi Freedom and continue to serve in the Kentucky Army National Guard.
​
Now, I am ready to serve you by providing a strong work ethic in my representation of you in gaining the benefits you deserve.
