Roman Kozak Jr. (born c. 1988) is an American politician who is the current representative-elect for the 14th district in the Pennsylvania House of Representatives. He is a member of the Republican Party.
Early life and education
Kozak graduated from Bethel Park High School in 2006 and received a Bachelor of Arts degree in political science from Geneva College in 2011.
Political career
After graduating from college, Kozak worked as a legislative aide for Pennsylvania State Representative Jim Christiana. In 2013, he unsuccessfully ran for a seat on the city council of Beaver Falls, Pennsylvania, but was appointed to the city's planning commission soon after. In 2016, Kozak served as campaign chair for Aaron Bernstine in his successful campaign for the state House. He later worked on Josh Kail's similarly successful run in 2018.
In 2023, Kozak, the chair of the Beaver County Republican Party and a social studies teacher with Pennsylvania Cyber Charter School, announced his campaign for the Pennsylvania state House after incumbent Jim Marshall announced his retirement ahead of the 2024 election. He defeated Democratic candidate Kenya Johns to represent the 14th district in the general election.
Kozak supports school vouchers and wants Pennsylvania to exit the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative, labelling the program "a ball and chain on our energy industry."

 | Possibly living people, missing people, and dead people are not included here, including the recently deceased; for which see Category:2025 deaths and preceding categories listing deaths in 2024, 2023, 2022, 2021, etc. (see Category:Deaths by year). |
Purpose: Because living persons may suffer personal harm from inappropriate information, we should watch their articles carefully. By adding an article to this category, it marks them with a notice about sources whenever someone tries to edit them, to remind them of WP:BLP (biographies of living persons) policy that these articles must maintain a neutral point of view, maintain factual accuracy, and be properly sourced. Recent changes to these articles are listed on Special:RecentChangesLinked/Category:Living people.
Organization: This category should not be sub-categorized. Entries are generally sorted by family name.
Maintenance: Individuals of advanced age (over 90), for whom there has been no new documentation in the last ten years, may be removed from this category and transferred to Category:Possibly living people.
Errata: Per WP:BDP, any individual born before 1910 whose living status remains undetermined should have this category replaced with Category:Year of death missing (the same application should be followed for individuals in Category:Possibly living people and those in Category:Missing people who had not been heretofore declared legally dead).
