Education Board Member Can Seek National Convention Delegate
West Virginia Attorney General Chauncey Browning Jr ruled that an incumbent Cabell County Board of Education member may run for and serve as a national party convention delegate. He found membership on a party executive committee or as a convention delegate is a public office, but a board member is not barred if he is seeking to succeed himself and is not running for another public position. Browning noted the law prohibits dual roles only if a member seeks another office or joins a party executive committee, yet allows serving as a delegate while remaining on the board.
