Kyle Rittenhouse coming to Covington for Northern Kentucky politician's campaign fundraiser [View all]

COVINGTON, Ky. — Kyle Rittenhouse, the man who gained national attention as a teenager in 2020 after shooting multiple men during protests over the police shooting of Jacob Blake, will be in the Tri-State next week in support of one local candidate.

Kentucky state House candidate and attorney TJ Roberts said on social media Rittenhouse will be a special guest at his campaign fundraiser in Covington on Wednesday, Oct. 9 alongside state Senator John Schickel and state Reps. Savannah Maddox and Steve Doan.

"This is an incredible opportunity for us to connect and for me to share more about my vision to secure a brighter future for Kentucky. ... Together, we will discuss the future of Kentucky and the importance of securing our Christian, Constitutional Conservative values for the next generation," Roberts said.

Roberts, a Boone County native, is running to replace Rep. Steve Rawlings in Kentucky House District 66. He defeated former state Rep. Ed Massey in the Republican primary and faces Democrat Peggy Houston-Nienaber this November.
