Career
[edit | edit source]In 2010, when Representative Craig Blair ran for the West Virginia Senate and left his seat open, Kump was unopposed for the May 11, 2010, Republican primary, winning with 728 votes,[3] and won the November 2, 2010, General election with 3,735 votes (57.1%) against Democratic nominee Michael Roberts,[4] who had run for the seat in 2008.
In 2012, Kump was redistricted to the 59th district.[5][6]
In 2014, Kump lost the primary to Saira Blair by a vote of 54.5 percent to 45.5 percent.[7] Kump said that he was not surprised he lost, citing his independent voting record and the desire of the district's Republicans to be represented by a Delegate who would conform better to the party line.[8]
In the 2016 election, Kump ran for the 15th District seat in the West Virginia Senate, held by fellow Republican Craig Blair.[9] Kump was defeated by 9,823 votes (67.77%) to 4,671 (32.23%).[10]
In the 2018 election, Kump ran for the 59th District seat in the West Virginia House of Delegates, defeating Democrat John Isner by a vote of 62.0 percent to 38.0 percent.[11] Kump was defeated for reelection in the 2020 Republican primary by Ken Reed, 57.32% to 42.68%.[12]
Kump won the 2022 Republican primary for House Of Delegates in the 94th District with two-thirds of the vote in a three-person race.[13][14] He was reelected unopposed in the general election.[15]
