→Legislative record
Rattliff was the Republican House Caucus chairman from 1976 to 1982.[1] He worked alongside State Senator [[Douglas Moseley]], formerly of Columbia and Campbellsville, who once described Rattliff as "one of the best legislators they ever had in Frankfort. . . If Herman Rattliff said it, he followed through."[11]

In 1981, Rattliff had a closer race than previously against the Democrat Rufus Hansford of Campbellsville. Kentucky legislative elections were switched to even years in 1984 to coincide with congressional elections. This meant that the legislature in Kentucky would be elected in years separate from the governor and other state constitutional officers. Hence the term to which Rattliff was elected on November 3, 1981, was extended to three years. On November 6, 1984, Rattliff won his last term in the Kentucky House by handily defeating the Campbellsville Democrat William "Tonnie" Douglas Ford (1935-2022). Neither Rattliff nor Moseley sought reelection in 1986, and the pair was succeeded, respectively, by fellow Republicans [[Ray Altman]] and the long serving David L. Williams of Burkesville, the seat of Cumberland County.[2]
