The Following Is An Excerpt:

August 2, 2020

Hedgesville business owner and regular Facebook commentator Patricia “Patch” Adams and communications specialist Robert E. Smith have both filed for the 59th District seat in the West Virginia House of Delegates.

Though aligned with the Mountain Party, Smith appeared to support progressive Stephen Smith in the Democrat primary. He even publicly took the “WV Can’t Wait” pledge associated with Smith in April.

Adams, 57, is not affiliated with any political party, and Smith, 23, also of the Hedgesville area, is the Mountain Party’s nominee.

They will take on Republican Morgan County Commissioner Ken Reed, who defeated incumbent Larry Kump in the June primary.

No Democrat filed in the decidedly GOP district, which is the reason Smith gives for his candidacy.

While Smith brings a progressive face to the race, Adams is staunchly conservative.
