The Marshall County Democratic Executive Committee is slated to host a meet the Democrat candidates gathering at 6:30 p.m. today at Perkins Restaurant, 105 N. Lafayette Ave.

Candidates for political office slated to attend include Sarah Reggi for West Virginia House of Delegates, District 7; Cody Cumpston, West Virginia House of Delegates District 6; and Chris Claypole, West Virginia Senate District 2.

“We are still filling ballot vacancies for Marshall County commissioner and assessor, as well as looking at non-partisan races such as Marshall County School board,” said Barbara Scott, chairwoman of the Marshall County Democratic Executive Committee. “If you are interested, please come to the meeting. All are welcome.”

To run in the primary election in 2026 for Marshall County Executive Committee, one must file between Jan 12-31. Those who are interested in running or need help filing can call or text 304-281-3153.

“West Virginia Republicans in the West Virginia Legislature have changed election laws. If there is a vacancy on the ballot after Jan. 31, the Executive Committee can no longer appoint anyone. We must file every slot by that deadline. We can replace someone who is on the ballot who drops out after that deadline,” she added.
