Ritch Workman (born May 3, 1973) is a Republican member of the Florida House of Representatives, representing the 52nd District, which includes southern Brevard County, stretching from Melbourne to Palm Shores, since 2012, and previously representing the 30th District from 2008 to 2012.
Workman was born in Belleville, Ontario, in 1973, and in 1980, his family moved from Canada to the state of Florida, despite never having been there before, because Pierre Trudeau and the Liberal Party of Canada were successful in the 1980 federal election, and his father did not want to live in what he perceived as a socialist country. Workman graduated from Satellite High School in Satellite Beach and then attended Appalachian State University, where he graduated in 1995. Following graduation, he served in the National Guard from 1990 to 2005, including as a Battery Commander in Operation Noble Eagle. When incumbent State Representative Mike Haridopolos was elected to the Florida Senate in a 2003 special election, Workman ran to succeed him in the 30th District, which stretched from Rockledge to Palm Bay in southern Brevard County. Workman ultimately lost to Thad Altman in the Republican primary, receiving 29% of the vote to Altman's 41%.
