West Virginia to hold governor race by November due to court ruling
The West Virginia Supreme Court ruled that a special election for governor must be held by November, or within a year of Senate President Ray Tomblin beginning acting as chief executive. The decision upends a later plan and confirms an early campaign season as lawmakers tackle a chaotic session. Names floated include Tomblin, Kessler, Thompson, Perdue, McCabe for Democrats and Ireland, Barnes, Stuart for Republicans as potential contenders. The ruling keeps the acting governor issue in limbo while the campaign slate grows.
