Kyle Koehler

Kyle Koehler (born October 5, 1961) is an American politician serving as a member of the Ohio Senate, representing the 10th district since 2025.

Representative Koehler chaired the Ohio House Agriculture and Rural Development Committee during the 133rd and 134th General Assemblies.

He spent seven years leading teams developing classified software surrounding signal analysis and data acquisition for government contractors.

Kathrin Koehler, who is a licensed psychologist in the State of Ohio, worked as an independent counselor until taking a break to home educate their five children starting in 1999.

Representative Koehler, along with Rep. Mike Ashford (D), spent the 132nd General Assembly fighting to bring reform to the payday lending industry in Ohio.

[12][13] Representative Koehler, introduced The Fresh Start Act (Ohio House Bill 263) in the 133rd General Assembly.

“The Fresh Start Act is a comprehensive occupational licensing and criminal justice reform proposal that will assist Ohioans who have paid their debt to society and deserve more than to be treated as second-class citizens for the rest of their lives.”[14] In the lame duck session of the 133rd General Assembly, Representative Koehler made the move to amend Senate Bill 175 (R-Schaffer) with language to remove the Duty To Retreat from the Ohio Revised Code.

This provision applies to a person located anywhere he is lawfully allowed to be (and not an aggressor in a confrontation) where they believe they are in immediate danger of bodily harm or death.

"In 2018, then gubernatorial candidate Mike DeWine promised the Buckeye Firearms Association at his campaign headquarters in Columbus that he would sign Stand Your Ground legislation.

Senate Bill 175 provides this simple fix that will protect law-abiding gun owners," Koehler wrote in a statement following DeWine's signature.

In the 132nd General Assembly, Koehler served as Vice-Chair of Agriculture and Rural Development as well as on Education & Career Readiness.

He was assigned to the newly formed Federalism & Interstate Relations Committee that focused on State's Rights issues including a number of gun bills.
