Meet Irwin Council Candidate Cody Karch

My name is Cody Karch. I was raised in the country by working-class parents, near Butler, PA. I received two bachelors degrees, in Philosophy and English, from the University of Pittsburgh. In college, I met my wife and we started living in Irwin about 2019. We have four cats and a young German shepherd. I’ve always been proactive volunteering in many nature and government-focused groups, but we embraced a new challenge with our first child, Rowan, in 2024. For about five years, I have been a mental counselor for severely-mentally ill persons. With the future on my mind, many labors pressuring my family and friends daily, and knowing the history of our county, I have found a deeper inspiration to not only sustain our local elections, but take a stronger role as council-member of my neighborhood. I want to strengthen the local connections, keep the stability, and offer more voices against unjust beliefs.
