COLUMBUS – A week after the Ohio House of Representatives voted to oust indicted lawmaker Larry Householder, his son Derek applied to be the next Rep. Householder.
Perry County Commissioner Derek Householder was one of 19 who applied to represent the 72nd House District, which includes Coshocton and Perry counties and portions of Licking County. Derek Householder was first elected in 2020, aided by donations from his father s allies.
Derek Householder applied just before the 5 p.m. deadline Wednesday, ultimately convinced that Perry, Coshocton and Licking county voters should have a candidate who has been elected in the area – especially after House lawmakers expelled his father.

Patrick Simpson of Anchorage wants to try and solve the astronomical costs of lumber and building materials when shipped to his home state of Alaska. His goal: he wants to create artificial lumber from plastic ocean debris.
Simpson, an engineer and entrepreneur, has been granted $100,000 by the EPA to develop his idea of a mobile plastic-waste recycler that could be deployed to coastal communities in Alaska and produce building materials. His current plan is to find material collected in community beach cleanups and intercept it before it goes to landfills.
This lumber won’t be suitable for framing a house because it bends, but it could be made into decking, fencing or roof tiles.
