Delegate Ray Hollen took the oath of office Saturday. He is a Republican and will represent District 9 in Wood and Wirt counties.
“We need to get the drug situation under control,” Hollen said.
With a background as former military and the West Virginia State police, the drug epidemic is at the forefront of his thoughts but Hollen said he is also interested in bringing more jobs to the state.
Delegate Riley Moore made it official by being sworn in Saturday.
Many of his family and friends were by his side as was his aunt, U.S. Sen. Shelley Moore Capito. Moore is a Republican and will occupy the 67th District.
