CHARLES TOWN, WV (September 12, 2024) – The Jefferson County Commission received a document from an individual claiming to represent the Mountain Party. After a thorough investigation, we have confirmed with the West Virginia Secretary of State’s Office and the Mountain Party that the information presented to the Commission was not submitted on behalf of the actual Mountain Party. As we approach the upcoming election, it is important to be aware of actors attempting to unduly influence or use the person-to-person nature of the campaign to gain your trust. We urge all citizens to fact-check any claims they encounter, remain cautious about information sources, and protect personal data. Please call the Commission Office with questions (304) 728-3284.
