West Virginia Delegate Jimmy Willis (R-Brooke) has introduced HB 4080. It would require that cities and towns must use partisan elections to choose their own officers. Currently, as in most states, each city or town decides for itself whether to have partisan or non-partisan elections.
I think this is a terrible idea.
I think it’s a great idea.
I can’t imagine a worse idea than compelling all citizens who wish to hold public office to announce allegiance with a segmented group within the population that would be their constituency. There’s nothing wrong with standing for office publicly on one’s own ideas and character.

Willis is a RINO. He is the fool who wants taxpayers to subsidize college students’ food expenditures. F him and the rest of the legislature who let this POS bill out of committee: https://www.wvlegislature.gov/Bill_Status/bills_text.cfm?billdoc=hb4081%20intr.htm&yr=2026&sesstype=RS&i=4081
Each municipality should be able to determine on their own how to conduct their elections.
Keeping party labels off the ballot doesn’t make the candidates “stand on their own ideas.” It just makes the candidates aligned with smaller parties or factions even less competitive.
@WZ,
Municipalities are not sovereign. There is no reason to have them mucking with electoral arrangements when they should be concentrating on things like providing water and policing, and stoplights.
They should be sovereign.
