CLARKSBURG, W.Va. (AP) - A Democratic committee will nominate three candidates to fill a vacant seat in the West Virginia Senate.
Democrat Joe Minard of Harrison County resigned the 12th Senatorial District seat Wednesday following his election as Senate clerk. The district includes Harrison, Lewis, Gilmer and Braxton counties.
