Senator John Schickel is a Republican from Union and Boone County in northern Kentucky.
He's been state senator for the 11th District for 16 years and chairs the Senate Licensing and Occupations Committee and a state senator, Schickel explained his decision to leave the Kentucky General Assembly.
Quote, The Kentucky General Assembly, like the U.S. Congress, was founded to be a citizen legislature.
I have always thought citizen legislators should not make a career out of their service because I strongly believe in the founding principles of a government of the people and by the people.
End quote.
Senator Schickel says in his last year on the job, he will continue to support policies friendly to small businesses, and he will advocate for Boone County.
Now, here is reaction from Senate President Robert Stivers to news of Senator Nickles decision not to seek reelection.
Quote Senator John Schickel has brought deep respect and trust to this constitutional office and rigor to the legislative process.
John ran his committee meetings with military precision, and it's been a privilege to serve alongside him despite being a part time legislator.
John, as always, brought everything he has to Frankfort during our general Assembly and while back in our districts.
John Nickel is a dear friend and I wish him all the best in this next chapter of his life.
End quote.
