Kevin J. Coughlin is a Republican member of the Ohio Senate, representing the 27th District since 2001. Previously he was a member of the Ohio House of Representatives from 1997 until 2000.

Coughlin is Chairman of the Senate Health, Human Services, and Aging Committee. In 2006, the Council of State Governments called Coughlin one of the nation's top emerging state leaders.

He is a leading conservative in the Ohio Senate and voted against the 2003 tax increases against the wishes of his own party leaders. He was punished for his refusal to raise taxes by being removed from the Senate Finance Committee. This earned him the United Conservatives of Ohio's Watchdog of the Treasury Award and it's Freshman Legislator of the Year Award.

Coughlin is also known for standing up against corruption and incompetence in his own party. In 2007, he joined an effort to remove his home county GOP chairman who's financial and personal scandals had become a liability to local Republican candidates.

He is regarded as a strong campaigner and has won all of his elections in Democrat-leaning Summit County, including an impressive victory for re-election in 2006. Coughlin's popularity in Northeast Ohio and among Ohio conservatives, as well as his crossover appeal have led to speculation that he will run for a statewide office.

He graduated from Woodridge High School in Peninsula, Ohio in 1988, received a BA from Bowling Green State University in 1992, and an MPA from BGSU in 1994.
