Senator Stephen Baldwin
Hi, neighbors! I’m the proud husband of Kerry Richardson Baldwin and father of Harrison River Baldwin. We live in Ronceverte. I’m honored to serve as your new senator. After being elected to the House of Delegates in 2016, I was appointed to the Senate in 2017. I work hard to keep folks updated about what’s happening (and not happening) in Charleston via social media and newspaper columns.
Unless the Russians hack our election, I will be the Democratic nominee for Senate in this district in the general election, as I do not have a primary opponent. While I am new to public service, the community has placed trust in me as a voice of reason. They know my independence, sincerity, and heart.
My legislative efforts have focused on fighting the drug crisis, flood recovery, education, infrastructure, and economic development. I’ve taken on the drug companies, career politicians, and government agencies in order to get things done for the people. I spend each day trying to solve our toughest problems.
Please feel free to reach out if I can help you or your family. My number is (304) 404-4207 and my email is stephen.baldwin@wvsenate.gov.
Steve Malcomb
Steve Malcomb, republican, announces his candidacy for the 42nd Delegate District, WV House of Delegates. Little did he know as a boy growing up in Marlinton that someday he would have an opportunity to represent Greenbrier Valley in the Legislature.
Steve enjoyed working at his father’s wrecker, taxi and trucking service. He also liked riding his motorcycle, too fast, down Route 219 to visit his family and friends in Greenbrier County. After high school, attending the Charleston School of Business, Finance and Banking and while working for the Bank of Marlinton, he was recruited to work in public service for Washington DC, Metropolitan Police as a Motorcycle Officer. His reputation was well known for getting the job done and advanced him to Sergeant, supervising a drug and criminal task force, spending years fighting the war on drugs and later becoming a Special Deputy US Marshal.
After retirement, Steve continued public service and was elected Greenbrier County Commissioner. As President, he spearheaded adoption of the Occupancy/Bed Tax. Tourism funds this revenue, providing millions to arts and recreation budgets.
The 42nd District deserves a true conservative representing them in Charleston with a sensible, affordable future plan. Steve is a strong voice supporting his constituents and feels the concerns of the people are his first priority.
Malcomb defends the US and WV Constitutions and will work for you in the House of Delegates.

Roger Vannoy
My name is Roger Vannoy, and I am running for House of Delegates. I believe West Virginia needs to do better by the working class citizens of our state. Low wage earners can’t make a living off of the minimum wage. Teachers and state employee pay in West Virginia is still not competitive with the pay of states around us. Our current state legislature continually focus their time on giving the wealthy unneeded tax breaks. Instead, West Virginia should exempt social security benefits from personal income tax for our senior citizens instead of creating additional tax breaks for the wealthy. The opioid crisis continues to burn through our state, and the only solution I’ve seen from the state legislature is to restrict how many opiates can be prescribed at a time. West Virginia needs new ideas to tackle the opioid epidemic, for example: recreational marijuana can reduce the amount of opioid overdose deaths by giving our citizens a safer option, an increased focus on depression screening by our health care facilities, and an increased military recruitment presence in our high schools. The choice to enlist in the U.S. military can teach our young adults a new skill, show them the world and give them money for college. If you want to see change in the state legislature, then vote for democrats like me in the primary on May 8. I’m a Democrat who is willing to compromise with those in the opposing party, to get things done.
