NEW CUMBERLAND, W.Va. – A political novice is hoping that city voters give her the nod over an incumbent councilwoman.
Anne Blankenship is challenging incumbent Second Ward Councilwoman Judith Takach Bartley for her second ward council seat on Tuesday, May 11 during the city’s municipal election.
New Cumberland-born and raised, Blankenship admitted that she spent a lot of time on the outside looking in. After she moved with her family into the city limits, she was urged to run for council, so she could offer a fresh perspective.
She currently works as an office administrator for Hancock County commissioners, a job that she describes all encompassing and providing her with a good foundation if she is elected. Doing everything from preparing their agenda and items for meetings, she also has Human Resources, budgetary and operations experience.
