Rob Knisley – Political Director, Ohio Gun Owners
He got his start inside the Statehouse as a Legislative Aide to the late Rep. Ron Hood, where he helped draft and push major pro-freedom bills like Constitutional Carry, Stand Your Ground, the Heartbeat Bill, and Life at Conception. That experience gave him an insider’s knowledge of the legislative process — and how to beat it when politicians betray their voters.
As Political Director for Ohio Gun Owners, Rob mobilizes thousands of gun owners to confront weak legislators and force votes on critical legislation. His record speaks for itself: victories for freedom and the political careers of sell-outs cut short.
In 2026, Rob is bringing that same battle-tested resolve to the Lancaster City Council to fight taxes, wasteful spending, and government bloat.
A grateful Christian, Rob lives in Lancaster with his wife, Holly, and their child, raising the next generation to love freedom and never bow to tyranny.
