Todd Rauch grew up in a small town in Illinois. After high school he joined the United States Army. Following in the footsteps of his uncle, Rauch set out to become a military police officer. While on deployment in Iraq his life took a dramatic turn. Rauch was wounded in the arm and shoulder by a remotely-detonated mortar round. After 12 grueling surgeries, doctors were able to save his limbs, but his career in the Army came to an end.

Following retirement he attended Auburn University and made Lee County his home. Today Rauch spends his days helping other military veterans and focuses on issues that impact his community and Alabama. After attending multiple city council and county commission meetings throughout the state of Alabama, he became frustrated by the lack of engagement from elected officials. It was that frustration that led Rauch to launch a campaign for the Alabama House of Representatives in District 38, which covers parts of Lee and Chambers County.
