WV-02: In race for WV's 2nd House of Representatives district, three Dems vie for chance to unseat Moore

Democratic voters will choose between Ace Parsi, an Iranian-born community organizer, Stephanie Spears Tomana, a science teacher and youth sports coach, and Steven Wendelin, a navy veteran. The primary election is May 12.

Ace Parsi’s family immigrated to the United States when he was 8 years old to escape the authoritarian regime there. His brother was about to be conscripted into the military.......

Steven Wendelin, of Lost River, is a Northern California native who settled in West Virginia after retiring from a 39-year career in the U.S. Navy. The military took him all over the world, but when he got to choose where to live, he chose West Virginia, he said.....

Stephanie Spears Tomana is a Fairmont science teacher and a lifelong West Virginia resident. She said she was inspired to run for office after seeing West Virginia being exploited over and over.
