State Rep. David Thomas, R-Jefferson, was chosen by the Ohio Realtors for its Public Service Award for his work on property taxes.

Thomas, whose district includes portions of Trumbull County, said: “It has been an honor to work with the many Ohio Realtors across the state to help our taxpayers and homeowners in Ohio. I am looking forward to continuing our strong partnership into the future.”

The award “recognizes leaders who make a real difference for homeowners and communities across our state,” said Mic Gordon, Ohio Realtors president.

“Rep. David Thomas has been a true champion of private property rights, and we are grateful for his partnership and leadership in advancing meaningful property tax reform that will benefit Ohioans for generations to come.”
