A local business owner is once again challenging an incumbent in a race for state representative.
Ryan Covert announced he would be seeking the Republican nomination for the 11th District, a seat currently held by Marci Mustello.
Covert says he will be a voice for fiscal responsibility, reducing government involvement in business, and supporting parents and children in education.
Covert previously ran against Mustello in 2022; he also sought the Republican nomination for Butler County Commissioner in 2023.
Mustello announced she is seeking re-election for a seat she has held since she won a special election in 2019.
