CHARLESTON â The West Virginia Supreme Court on Thursday temporarily blocked a newly appointed state lawmaker from assuming his duties while it considers a challenge to the legality of his appointment.
Republican Gov. Jim Justice announced Wednesday that he had picked Joshua Booth, a political neophyte and executive at a family-run road contracting firm, to fill the Wayne County seat in the House of Delegates. The chair of the county GOP committee, Jeff Maynard, went to court alleging Justice did not follow the law when he picked Booth over three other candidates put forth by local Republican officials.
The office was formerly held by Derrick Evans, who resigned after he was charged with illegally entering the U.S. Capitol with a mob of Donald Trump supporters Jan. 6.
