Pruett Will Not Run
WEST VIRGINIA...
Former Marshall University football coach Bob Pruett will not run for West Virginia's 3rd Congressional District seat. He said in a prepared release that he made the decision after careful consideration and analysis. Pruett said he has talked to incumbent Democrat Nick Rahall about the issues facing the district, and that Rahall has assured him they share a similar vision. Rahall, who filed Friday morning to run for his 18th term, will face Bruce Barilla of Bluefield in the Democratic primary. The candidate filing period ended Saturday. Lee Bias of Barboursville, Marty Gearheart of Bluefield and Conrad Lucas II of Huntington have filed on the Republican side.
