Press Office November 8th, 2007
TIFFIN, Ohio (AP) - The widow of former Ohio Congressman Paul Gillmor announced Wednesday that she is running for a seat in the Ohio Senate.
Karen Gillmor is seeking to represent a district in northwest Ohio that she held for two terms in the 1990s. The district includes Sandusky, Wyandot, Crawford and Marion counties.
Her husband spent nearly 20 years in Congress until he died in September from a fall at his Washington apartment. Karen Gillmor decided not to try to replace him so she could raise their three sons in Ohio.
Gillmor made the announcement at the Paul E. Gillmor Science Building at Heidelberg College, named for her late husband.
