Huntington, WV (HNN) – Hillary Clinton may be mathematically eliminated from gaining enough delegates for the Democratic nomination for President of the United States; however, West Virginia and Cabell County voters couldn't care less.
The former first lady, who visited Huntington’s First United Methodist Church on Mother’s Day with her daughter, Chelsea, grabbed 64% of the votes with 10, 571 to Barrack Obama’s 4,985 (30.18%).
Statewide, Huntington attorney Menis Ketchum and former West Virginia Supreme Court justice Margaret Workman pulled out victories over incumbent Justice Elliott “Spike” Maynard. The incumbent justice had been on the ropes ethically and politically due to his friendship with Don Blankenship, a Massey Energy executive.
Workman had about 36% of the vote, Ketchum 27% and Maynard a distant 19%. These top two Democrats now compete with Republican Beth Walker for two open seats on the court in the general election.
The 16th Delegate District which had five Democrats seeking three seats saw incumbent Doug Reynolds leading the ticket with 4,595 votes followed by incumbent Dale Stephens with 4,390. Newcomer Amy Herrenkohl narrowly beat former mayor and state senator Bobby Nelson by a 3,689 to 3,303 vote margin. Chris Tatum finished last with 2,935 votes.
Reynolds, Stephens and Herrenkohl face Republican Kelli Sobonya in the fall.
The 15th delegate district had three Democrats and three Republicans running. Jim Morgan finished with 4,746 followed by Kevin Craig with 4,569, and Huntington firefighter Carl Eastham with 3,128. The Republicans were led by incumbent Carol Miller with 1,977 votes followed by Jim Carden’s 1,276 and Paula Stewart’s 1,245.
Finally, incumbents Suzanne Oxley and Ted T. Barr won re-election to the Cabell County School Board.
