A legislator from Mason County says he won't run for re-election to the House of Delegates this year.
Scott Cadle said in a statement Friday that he'll run for a seat on the Mason County Commission instead.
"Having learned much over the past four years and made invaluable contacts at the State level I realize that I could be more effective for Mason County as a Commissioner," Cadle wrote in an email. "I will work as tirelessly for Mason County as I did in the Legislature."
Cadle, who was first elected to the House in 2012, will keep his seat for the coming legislative session, which begins Wednesday. He represents the 13th District, which includes the towns of Buffalo, Eleanor, Mason, Leon, New Haven and other parts of Mason and Putnam counties that are north and east of the Kanawha River.
