Mike Woelfel is a Democratic member of the West Virginia Senate serving his first term as one of two senators representing the 5th district.[1] The 5th district includes all of Cabell County and a small portion of northern Wayne County.[2] He was first elected in 2014 to succeed Evan Jenkins who chose to run for Congress. Woelfel's victory was a rare pick up for the Democratic Party during a year that otherwise saw major Republican gains in West Virginia.[3]
