Karen Toles

Karen Renee Toles is an American Democratic politician from Maryland. Following the resignation of State Delegate Dereck E. Davis to serve as the Treasurer of Maryland, Governor Larry Hogan appointed her to serve the remainder of his term. Since 2022, she has served in the Maryland House of Delegates, representing district 25, based in Prince George's County.

Early life Toles was born in Prince George's County, Maryland and attended Forestville High School in Forestville, Maryland. She graduated from the University of Maryland, College Park in 2000, earning a B.S. degree in public health. She has also earned a J.D. degree from the University of Baltimore Law School.

Anne Arundel District Court Judge Megan Johnson gave Toles probation before judgment in relation to the charge.

In January 2022, the Prince George's Democratic Central Committee unanimously voted to elect Toles to serve in the Maryland House of Delegates, filling a vacancy left by the resignation of former delegate Dereck E. Davis. Governor Larry Hogan officially appointed her to the House of Delegates on January 11, 2022, and she was sworn in the next day.
