Summary
Kanawha County’s vacant commission seat is heating up as six candidates—Thomas Canterbury, Jared Page, George Smith, Elizabeth Standish, Jim Strawn, and George Mets Junior—race to fill the spot after Lance Wheeler’s departure. With a July 23 deadline looming, President Ben Salango and Commissioner Natalie Tennant aim to pick a winner, or risk handing the decision to the Republican County Executive Committee in August. Salango emphasized transparency and stability, noting that while Jared Page’s Republican nomination doesn’t guarantee victory, his government experience as a municipal judge and vice mayor gives him a strong edge.
