HUNTINGTON â A new councilwoman is in town.
The Huntington City Council selected Sarah Walling to represent District 4. The vacancy was created last month when former Council Chairwoman Jennifer Wheeler resigned. She moved out of the district.
Walling took the oath of office Thursday.
âItâll be an honor to serve on council,â Walling said following the meeting. âWe had an excellent pool of candidates. It was a hard-fought fight.â
Walling, a Democrat, has lived in Huntington since 2010. She is a partner with the law firm Jenkins Fenstermaker. She is also on boards for local community organizations, such as Little Victories Animal Rescue and CONTACT. She is president of the board of Facing Hunger Foodbank and the Ronald McDonald House.
