LaRe is a trained peace officer and works for a national security and asset protection service company along with his public service.[1][2]

In 2019, state Representative Tim Schaffer was appointed to the Ohio Senate, creating a vacancy for his seat.[3] LaRe was appointed by Ohio House Republicans to serve the remainder of Schaffer's term.[4] He was sworn into office on May 22, 2019.[5]

Shortly after incumbent representative Steve Stivers announced his resignation from Congress to become president and CEO of the Ohio Chamber of Commerce, LaRe declared his candidacy for the special election to succeed him.[6] LaRe lost the Republican primary to former coal lobbyist, Mike Carey, who received the endorsement of Donald Trump.[7]
