Former Del. Wilson joins ballot for West Virginia governor’s race as Constitution Party candidate

CHARLESTON, WV (WOWK) – Former West Virginia Delegate Marshall Wilson has officially qualified for the November ballot as a Constitution Party candidate in the race for West Virginia governor.

Wilson needed 8,000 signatures from registered voters in order to make the cut. Just last week, he was still 2,000 short. On Tuesday afternoon, he delivered the extra signatures he needed to Secretary of State Mac Warner’s office.

“Retired combat veteran infantry officer, US Army. and of course, I did a lot of walking in the infantry, but I have done more walking, knocking doors meeting people, going to events, gathering signatures, talking to people about what I believe, and why, and who I am and answering their hard questions. And, I have literally worn out three pair of boots,” Wilson said about his efforts to gain signatures.

Marshall Wilson will join Democratic candidate Huntington Mayor Steve Williams and Republican candidate WV Attorney General Patrick Morrisey in the race during the Nov. 5 General Election.
