Nicholas County Delegate Dies
WEST VIRGINIA....
Sixty-eight year old Sam Argento, Nicholas County Delegate, Assistant House Majority Whip and chairman of the Agriculture Committee, died Thursday morning as the result of a brain tumor. Argento, who was first elected in 2004, was running for re-election to the 35th District of the House of Delegates this year against Republican Harold "Pete" Sigler, of Summersville. County clerks will post signs in polling places to notify voters of his death, but, if he is re-elected, the county executive committee will meet and submit two lists, each with three names, to the governor. The first list would be for a person to serve Argento's unexpired term from the time he or she is sworn in until January. The second list is for Argento's full term, which would have begun in January.
