John Rose Sr. was a candidate for the West Virginia House of Delegates (4th District) that got killed during the storm by a falling tree branch. Poor guy. However, it looks like 45% of that district may prefer no rulers! Sweet “public mandate,” West Virginia’s 47th District! Wish it could have won the day…
