Angela N. King is an American politician who has served in the Ohio House of Representatives from the 84th district since 2023.[1]
She is the eldest of five children and was raised on a farm.[2] King and her husband, Mark, have two children and four grandchildren and are involved in their local church.[2]
In June 2023, King joined members of the neo-Nazi group Aryan Freedom Network at a protest of a LGBTQ pride event in Celina, Ohio.[3][4] That July, King was one of the lead sponsors of a bill that would have criminalize drag performers depending on where and to whom they performed.[5]
In April 2024, Ohio Representatives Angie King and Rodney Creech introduced legislation that would allow individuals from any political party to file a protest against a candidate in a primary election. This move came in response to a failed attempt by the Mercer County Republican Party Chair to disqualify Representative King's transgender opponent.[6][non-primary source needed]
