Irma Karmol — sits down with the VoteR podcast about his run for Ohio House District 43. Dave Karmol sat down with the VoteR podcast to share his story: born and raised in Toledo, he was appointed to the Ohio House seat held by his mother, State Rep. Irma Karmol, after her death in 1979 — and then won a full term of his own. A former Franklin County assistant prosecutor, he's running for Ohio House District 43 on low taxes, school choice for families of every walk of life, and common-sense priorities for a district that includes the Jeep and GM plants.
