Elected Speaker

Roger Hanshaw
Republican

The 2022 West Virginia House of Delegates election was held on November 8, 2022, electing all 100 members of the chamber. This coincided with the election of 17 of West Virginia's 34 state senators, and the election of West Virginia's two U.S. representatives. Primary elections were held on May 10, 2022. [1] Due to redistricting, this was the first House of Delegates election in which all members were elected from single member districts, with West Virginia following a trend of states phasing out multi-member districts in recent decades. [2]

Background

In the 2020 House of Delegates election, the Republican Party gained almost twenty seats from the Democrats, achieving supermajority status. [3] This has followed West Virginia's sharp turn towards the Republican Party in the past twenty years, and the Republicans' growing prominence in state politics. After 2020, two Democrats have changed parties, making nearly 80 percent of the chamber Republican. [4]

Speakership Election

On August 8, 2022, Brandon Steele, a Republican from Raleigh County, announced his intent to run for Speaker against incumbent Roger Hanshaw. [20] House Democratic leader Doug Skaff stated on the Mountain State Views podcast that he and his caucus would support Hanshaw over Steele in a speakership contest. [21]

On December 4, 2022, Hanshaw was chosen to lead the Republican caucus for another two years, winning with 53 votes to Steele's 30. In the Democratic caucus, Skaff was re-elected as minority leader. [22]

On January 11, 2023, the 86th Legislature convened, and the election for Speaker was held. Republican David Kelly nominated Hanshaw, who was seconded by John Hardy, and Democrat Ric Griffith nominated Skaff, who was seconded by Shawn Fluharty.
