Roswell Resident To Run For Fulton GOP Chair

Roswell resident Dave Rittenhouse officially announced he is running for chairman of the Fulton County Republican Party.

Rittenhouse kicked off his campaign January 10 surrounded by friends and supporters who gathered at his home. Rittenhouse explained an issue he would immediately address as chairman of the Republican Party.

“I would increase enthusiasm in the party by clearly articulating the principles of small and limited government and personal freedom,” he said.

Rittenhouse also said he would also focus on attracting new members to the county party and push to increase Republican voter registration throughout Fulton County.

Rittenhouse has been involved in the Republican Party in various roles. He serves as House District 47 vice-
chair and has actively supported candidates on the Republican ticket as a campaign volunteer.

He founded the Freedom and Liberty Coalition, a group whose mission is to unite disparate groups under the Republican umbrella and focus on conservative issues.

Rittenhouse is also active in his community. He has captained over 40 sports teams, is the president of Wexford Home Owner’s Association and was a past board member and treasurer of the neighborhood organization.

Rittenhouse received his bachelor’s degree in chemistry from the University of North Carolina and his MBA from the University of Alabama, with a focus in finance and marketing. He is manager of New Business Development for Glatfelter, a speciality paper manufacturer.

He and his wife, Leigh, have lived in Fulton County for 22 years. Their son, Nathan, is a graduate of North Springs Charter High School in Sandy Springs and MIT.
