Southwestern Virginia Democrats Lose Key Leaders in Departures
Legislators call Thursday's announcement that Cranwell and Jackson will not seek re election a devastating blow to the region. Cranwell and Jackson held top roles in the House and faced redrawn districts after the 2000 census. Puckett said the void in leadership would require remaining members to step forward. Jackson's district now stretches from Dublin to Bluefield, including Pearlsburg and Narrows.
