S. Marshall Wilson

S. Marshall Wilson is a former West Virginia state delegate and the Constitution Party nominee for U.S. Senate. A U.S. Army veteran, former missionary and teacher, he served in the House of Delegates from 2016 to 2020 and has since run statewide as a third-party and write-in candidate.[1]

Wilson represented District 60 in the West Virginia House of Delegates from 2016 to 2020, serving on committees including House Judiciary and House Health and Human Resources. He was elected as a Republican, ran unopposed in 2018, and did not run for re-election in 2020.[1] On December 17, 2019, he changed his party registration from Republican to independent, citing a dispute with the state Republican Party chair.[1]
