Tish Chafin has announced in an email that she plans to file for the West Virginia Supreme Court in January. She is currently ranked 4th in the Democratic Primary, but is expected to gain polling points after the first of the year.

How do you feel about Tish Chafin and her candidacy for the Supreme Court?

Below is the complete email sent from Chafin.


Dear Supporter,

On January 9, 2012, I plan to officially file my candidacy papers for the Supreme Court of Appeals of West Virginia with the Secretary of State's Office. This same evening, there will be an official filing fundraising reception in Charleston at the Marriott.

Your support is greatly appreciated, and it would be an honor if you would lend your name to the invitation as a host for this event. As a candidate on the Democratic ticket, May 8, 2012, I plan to run a well-organized and successful campaign. Supporters and friends like you are what will make this possible.

The Honorable W. Kent Carper has agreed to chair my campaign committee. Oshel Craigo serves as the chair of my fundraising committee. In addition, Anthony Majestro volunteered to serve as the campaign attorney, and Chuck Smith serves as the campaign treasurer.

Rainmaker, Inc. is heading up the campaign operation, and Cartney McCracken is coordinating the January 9th reception. Please email her at Cartney@chafin2012.com regarding how you would like your name to appear on the invitation if you agree to serve as a host.

I am extremely honored by the support I have received as a pre-candidate for this office, and I would be humbled to receive your support for my candidacy as well.

With sincere appreciation,

Letitia "Tish" Chafin

Geography is enough to vote no (4.00 / 1)
Has anyone noticed the geographic slant of the Supreme Court of Appeals?

Justice Benjamin of Kanawha Co.
Justice Workman of Kanawha Co.
Justice McHugh of Kanawha Co.
Justice Davis of Kanawha Co.
Justice Ketchum of Wayne Co.

So, why should I support someone from Mingo County? To my knowledge, the Supreme Court of Appeals has never, in its history, been so geographically confined. We need a Democrat from one of the panhandles or from Morgantown on the Court.


Chafin running to protect the coal industry? (0.00 / 0)
I like Tish and I like her husband Truman as well, they are a fun couple who seem to enjoy life and people and all the trapping that go with being rather wealthy in a poor section of WV. I don't know if I can support her due to the southern slant of the current bench.  I hope some progressive lawyers from other parts of the state run for the office.
