Hillary Clinton is the choice of most West Virginia Democratic political leaders who have a role in choosing the party’s presidential nominee.
Six of West Virginia’s eight “super delegates” will be supporting the former secretary of state, who has a big lead among pledged delegates, when they cast their votes at the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia in July.
West Virginia has 37 delegates to the convention, with 29 of those awarded based on the results of the Tuesday presidential primary. The remaining eight, the super delegates, are party leaders who are not bound by the voters’ choice next week.
West Virginia’s Democratic super delegates are Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin, Sen. Joe Manchin, party chairwoman Belinda Biafore, vice-chairman Chris Regan, Secretary of State Natalie Tennant, state Treasurer John Perdue, Charleston lawyer Pat Maroney, and Elaine Harris, a union leader for the Communications Workers of America.
