For Barbour County, Republican Tim McDaniel won the election for county commissioner. He received 2559 votes. Democrat Philip Ferguson won for county sheriff. Danny Wagner also won the house seat for West Virginia.
For Senate, Shelley Moore Capito won the election. Alex Mooney won the second district for the house, and Evan Jenkins won the third.

More winners of the election were republican. For both the state and county, more winners were male. Only one female got elected into office. Almost all of the winners were not incumbent.

Elections are very important because it is how people of a county  or state represent themselves. We vote  for someone to  put into office to be the voice. We have these elections so that everyone has a say, therefore our government is representational.  I think it is important to vote because  it is a right we have that people died for. It shouldn't be taken for granted. We need to vote, so that the right people are put into office.
